First off, ONE question per message - you could have found the answer in the
archives that way and the next person will be able to find this answer...

While each individual RRD file will never grow, the number of RRD files is
totally dependent upon the traffic your ntop instance sees.  So there is no
effective way to really limit the total size of all rrd files.

There are some filtering options on the plugin setup page - thing about what
it is that you NEED to see and use them to limit what is stored.  But that
comes down to what you need.

Subject: [Ntop] new ntop users - sflow and rrd files

<SNIP />

Next question is, I have the rrd plugin enabled, and after running  
for a few days, my /var/lib/rrd directory now is 3.4Gbyts of disk  
space. Other than playing with the historical dump values, is there a  
way to limit the amount of disk space the rrd files can occupy? If I  
create a separate partition for rrd data, will rrd play nice when  
that partition becomes full?

Thanks in advance, and my apologies if these questions are available  
elsewhere...

-Chris
