Package: rrdtool Version: 1.4.3-1~bpo50+1 Severity: normal When I try to resize my rrd databases I get the following error message:
ERROR: attempting to write beyond end of file As I upgraded rrdtool to the version from backports because the version from stable (1.3.1-4) corrupted all my databases on a resize this message makes me very suspicious. The result of the resize looks good as far as I can see with a dump, but still the message don't let me trust in it. I can easily reproduce the error with the following 2 commands: $ rrdtool create test.rrd DS:a:GAUGE:600:0:100 DS:b:GAUGE:600:0:100 DS:c:GAUGE:600:0:100 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:600 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:600 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:1800 $ rrdtool resize test.rrd 3 GROW 2400 ERROR: attempting to write beyond end of file Regards Uwe -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (850, 'stable'), (750, 'testing'), (650, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages rrdtool depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2~bpo50+1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbi0 0.8.2-3 Database Independent Abstraction L ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.4-1~bpo50+1 The GLib library of C routines ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-5+lenny1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.27-2+lenny3 PNG library - runtime ii librrd4 1.4.3-1~bpo50+1 time-series data storage and displ ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-5+lenny1 GNOME XML library rrdtool recommends no packages.
