Yes, I did standard installation on all the machine except changing the 
default directory installation.

Yes, they all have that format.

This is where the problem is.  Let me try to explain it.  One of the 
orcallator client lost the NFS mount directory from the orca server for 12 
days.  I realized that later so I remount the NFS from orca server and 
copied those percol data files that were collected when it lost NFS back 
into the NFS mount directory.  Then I rerun orca hoping that it would create 
the rrd data from those missing percol for the past 12 days.  THat didn't 
work.  Then I lost control... :) i deleted all the rrd data for all the 
clients and run orca again in hoping that it will rebuild everything.  Then 
disaster stroke....I lost two days of data for that NFS lost client, and 12 
days of data missing for the rest of the clients.  I do have all the percol 
data, but for all the other clients, orca only build rrd outside the range 
of thd 12 days that single client lost its NFS mount.  Only changes I made 
before I delete all the rrd files and after I delete that rrd file of that 
particular client was a little modification to the orcallator.cfg, i simply 
added an e-mail address in the html output.  Would that change be the cause 
of data gap?

sorry I dont, we only have internal servers.
