Christos, Was the Mac OSX system an Intel-based system (one of the new macs)? I would expect that Mac OSX on x86 to generate identical rrd files as Linux on x86 (since they are both UNIX variants on the same platform). I expect that rrd files from OSX on a PowerPC platform (e.g., G4's) would be different from/incompatible with rrd files from OSX on x86 platform. The important difference is the hardware platform rather than the OS. This is not a guarantee that rrds from different OSes on the same platform are compatible, but it's reasonably likely since the hardware platform determines Endianness and floating point formats. -Sam _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list rrd-users@lists.oetiker.ch https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
