After digging into the issue a little more, I discovered I had two instances of collectd running, and the following was printed on syslog: collectd[7545]: rrdtool plugin: rrd_update_r (file.rrd) failed: file.rrd: illegal attempt to update using time 1260984557 when last update time is 1260984559 (minimum one second step) probably, the old instance was re-creating the old file every time. Interestingly, I had to kill the old instance with -9. After killing all the instances, cleaning /var/lib/collectd and restarting collectd everything works as expected. "TranslateDevicename false" also works as expected now. I tried reloading/restarting collectd several times (just to ensure that the process did not leave old instances running), and I can't readily replicate the problem. > Did you configure a non-standard ``Interval'' in the collectd > configuration (usually /etc/collectd/collectd.conf)? No, but I was reconfiguring several plugins and reloading collectd several times. My guess is that one collectd instance got stuck and the init script failed to kill it. I can't seem to replicate it right now, so I guess you can close the report. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
