I also remember seeing an add-on which allowed you to dump your data points into a MySQL database.
This would allow you to maintain max granularity for as long as your disk space held out.
If I recall, there was no modification or recompilation of the code required. (But don't quote me on that)
Search the archive, and see what comes up.

Cheers

I have a perl script to update all the rrd files:

- it uses rrdtool resize <rrd file> GROW to add extra datapoints so the rrd has 5760 data points / rra (per default it has 756 data points)

- it adds also MAX and MIN rra's, this is more tricky because I export the rrd to xml, change the xml info and revert back to an rrd file.

Unfortunatly, I can not share this script.  But with use RRDs ; use File::Find (); you can get info about the file and find them ;)
