You can. "rrdtool resize". This command will generate a *new* database which you should check and when found to be all right you can move the new one over the old. > data within the database? Has anyone done this to a large number of RRD > databases, are there any caveats? No, not for large amounts. One caveat that I know of is that you may update the old database while you're checking the new one. This means you can loose one update or so. Checking the database may not be necessary. When I implemented the command I expected feedback. Apart from the confusion generated by the creation of the new database I never heard of any problems.
