Hello,

I've a host that's picking up all kinds of oddness on its disk graph.  
The data seems correct, this is from client data:

[df]
Filesystem         1024-blocks      Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda2              1951832    659176   1292656      34% /
/dev/mapper/root_vg-var   5242716   4405508    837208      85% /var
/dev/mapper/root_vg-usr   2097084   1328888    768196      64% /usr
/dev/mapper/root_vg-home  12582524   8865656   3716868      71% /home
/dev/mapper/root_vg-varlocal 131067996 117865944  13202052      90% /var/local

but the graph looks like this:


I've never seen such bizarreness on one of my graphs.  The last two 
lines are particularly creative.  Any ideas how i can track this down?

I haven't figured out what's going on with that, but I've seen that come up
occasionally as well.

You probably have some bogus files in your rrd directory. Go the rrd
directory for this host and eliminate any disk files that don't correspond
to file systems on the monitored machine.

Thanks,

I took a look in there and :O - there's a ton of files that make no 
sense at all.  Dozens.  Things like
disk,r,run,mysqld,mysqld.sock.rrd
and
disk,ldapi:,,,.rrd
and
disk,-file=,var,run,mysqld,mysqld.pid.rrd

Clearing them out now, slowly, but any ideas on how they got in there?
