Today I discover that disk space is down to 2GB left - 17GB consumed since I posted this issue on the 22nd. I stopped ntop (service ntop stop) and deleted the /var/ntop/rrd directory to free up space. I got back everything all the way back to the 29GB free I had when I started running Ntop. I concluded that the rrd filter of 10.* is way too big (16million possible hosts) and changed it down to 10.100.* (64,000 possible hosts). I seems to be behaving now and I did a couple of restarts and didn't see any disk used between them. so I guess that will just be a mystery. The /var/ntop/rrd/interfaces/eth1/hosts directory is now 30Mb or so and holding steady. Moral of the story - if you enable the rrdPlugin, be sure to set a filter to limit the hosts to the minimum network segment you need.
