I assume you have orcallator data from that box from before you started 
/ will start running Orca on it directly?  It would be nice, as it would 
serve as a good "before" snapshot of performance, so you can see what 
kind of overhead Orca is causing.

That'll work nicely.  But do consider rdist, or better, rsync, if you 
can get it installed -- rsync supports ssh, and has a lot more options.

Actually, it was a v210.  Rather less beefy than a v240.

That rrd size looks wrong.

But many of those other sizes look ridiculous.  Check this out 
(directories contain data for the past 3 years)

For the rest of the list:  Francisco and I have been working in a 
private thread to address some of his problems.  Will post a summary 
here when we figure it all out.
