In fact, I'm not using the orcallator, because I run orca to compose
system info graphs of HP-servers.
I generate daily a new data-file per HP-server. The data-files
contains the output of the vmstat command that runs each 5 minutes.
Orca wasn't running for a while because I forgot to start it. But it
could happen that orca wasn't running because of other reasons
(system troubles, upgrading OS, decission to run orca on another
server...)

Thus, when orca wasn't running for a while, I get gaps in my graphs
but I'm sure my datafiles where continuous correct generated. Now, I
want to know how to generate also continuous graphs.

I removed already the RRD-directory and also the orca.state file, but
after restarting orca, I get an error message "too many open files,
can't generate htm-file ..." (The kernel parameter "max open files"
is set to 12500.)

If I don't remove the RRD-dir I get gaps in my charts ...
