does that patchset include the possibility to autoconvert all hr_fs 
filesystem rrds from single to multiple? i know that this only happens 
when you are using check_mk with pnp4nagios but since upstream puts 
pnp4nagios into its design picture, i think it's worth a thought.

see my notes here
https://wiki.icinga.org/display/howtos/check_mk+upgrade#check_mkupgrade-PerfdataFilesystemTrends

at least it should get a mention somewhere, that without conversion, 
your rrds are pretty much fucked, due to the changed datasources. thing 
is that check_mk autoinstalls new pnp templates for this kind of graphs 
which require the "new" multiple rrd format as well. the "make it 
compatible and safe option" in the configs did not work for me.

probably this is more of a check_mk with pnp4nagios problem, but feel 
free to share your thoughts on that transition as well.

kind regards,
Michael
