To me it looks like the file hasn't changed since the first boot. Like it's not written at all? Is there a way to check something like "file position" on disk in specific snapshot? rrds are a bit weird databases. When created they are, ie. size A. And all the way in time they gather some data and are always in that size A. The size doesn't change. Maybe this is related? > (2) Did you create snapshots after crash?
