Anyone know how I can resolve this issue? The tail end of
rrd-status.log lo= oks like this:
2010-11-11 14:43:34 RRD error updating
/home/hobbit/data/rrd/xxx.yyy.com/di= sk,H.rrd from 192.168.0.0: This
 RRD was created on another architecture
The funny thing is, the architecture never changed. I just upgraded
Fedora = Core from version 13 to 14.
Could it be an upgrade from a 32-bit to 64-bit version of the RRD
library?
I think the problem has been found, but it might be difficult to fix.
Look at the Bugzilla discussion in the Fedora mailing list:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638477#c29

Apparently the glibc folks implemented a new version of the glibc routine
that does memory-copies fin Fedora 14. And unlike the old version, this
one corrupts data when copying between memory areas that overlap.
Interesting bug thread.  So the new glibc broke Flash (and rrd), and who
knows what else.  And even Linus Torvalds thinks it's wrong and
unnecessary.  And the glibc team seem to be adamant about not changing it.

BSD, anyone?
