Hello,

not exactly a hobbit problem, but as I am using rrd only with hobbit:

I am converting my old hobbit/xymon server to a new one  Copying just
the data/rrd directory
results in the message "ERROR: This RRD was created on another
architecture".
So I used "rrdtool dump <file>.rrd > <file>.xml" on the old
and "rrdtool restore  <file>.xml <file>.rrd -f" on the new server.
Using the "--no-header"
option to rrddump makes no difference. No error messages during the
restore and no
errors when I call the web pages.

The new disk values in the rrd graphs are only 1/10 of the original
size, e. g. a disk which is
82 % filled, shows up with only  8 %.. The text lines generated from
the client data are correct.

Relevant data from the old server:

rrdtool -v

Any hints?

Can't say I've ever seen this syndrome - but a suggestion - can you
temporarily install a more recent version of rrdtool on the old server
to use for export, so you do not have such a version disparity between
the two systems?  I can't speak to RRDtool 1.3, have only used up to
1.2.27 for Hobbit.
