I went ahead and threw away my existing database, and created a new one. The new one got updated with 0's again for a couple of weeks, and then on 10/11/03 it started recording new data again. This appears to be a bug in rrdtool. Maybe I can fold the data from this rrd into another rrd that appears to be working. The two have basically the same create statements with the only real difference is that the one that I'm having problems with has only 1 data source.
