Solution: see my site, http://www.vandenbogaerdt.nl/rrdtool and click on RRDtool update tutorial with examples This will work if you know a reset is about to occur, or just has occured. Workaround: set an reasonable maximum for your RRD, so that spikes are ignored. Use rrdtool tune to change the maximum allowed rate.
