I think it is already possible with restore (and a little work). 1) use "rrdtool tune" to set limits on the allowed ranges (so that in effect none of them are allowed) 2) use "rrdtool restore --range-check" to read, and discard, all data 3) use "rrdtool tune" again to select normal behaviour Perhaps this discussion should be moved to the normal users list only to return here if it is determined that something should change?
