This is a reasonable restriction. My only suggestion is that there should be a comment to this effect in the rrd update doc file. > In any event, there is a problem for 'caculated datasources' in > that respect.

The 'first cut' solution here is to restrict the calculated datasources to only depend on data sources within the same RRD file, as all data sources in the same file have the same step size.
