Use the executables from RRD 1.0.33, and your data converts perfectly 1.0.38 and 1.0.40 are known to fail to convert (but work fine on a daily basis). I have not specifically tried later releases.
I discovered this when playing with the Killspike.pl It writes the RRD to an output file, removes spikes (eg caused by router reboot) and reads the file back into the RRD. The problem comes as it writes back to the RRD, you get some ridiculously high values, some zero and even some negative! Use early executable RRD and it works fine. Which made me retest my problems with data conversion (I had converted 6 months earlier, and lost 2 years history), and yes, thats it! History retrieved. For daily use, I am currently running 1.0.40. (and MRTG 2.9.29, using MrDaemon) on a w2k workstation. I know there are more recent releases available, but "it ain't broke, so why fix it?"
