I resize RRA 0 of several RRDs every 5 minutes.
I run this script with cron. It resizes every rrd in a directory.
To take care of several directories with one cron job, I actually run a
script that calls this script several times but the directory is different
each time.

This script resizes, then deletes the original, then copies the resize.rrd
to the originals name. It also lists the sizes before and after.

the command line is: 
resize-rrd ./cricket-data/path-to-rrd-files 0 GROW 1
the params are Directory, RRA, GROW/SHRINK, Records

here's the script:
#!/bin/bash
        for rrdfile in $1/*.rrd ; do
                echo Before
                ls $rrdfile -s
                rrdtool resize $rrdfile $2 $3 $4
                rm $rrdfile
                cp resize.rrd $rrdfile
                rm resize.rrd
                echo After
                ls $rrdfile -s
                echo 
        done

Thank you Mike, that was the problem; and it seems to be working at this
point. Now it's just a matter of waiting while my script updates all of the
rrds.

I'm not sure if you'd happen to know -- but, is there a convenient way to
merge a backup of the the overwritten data with the current database?
There is no overlapping between the two, and unfortunately there is a
missing gap of about 2 weeks, but there's nothing to be done about that now.

Thanks again Mike,

..Sean.
