Ticket #250 (closed enhancement: fixed)
Prevent accidental overwrite on create rrd file

Description
the default seems to be that rrd_create overwrites existing .rrd files - i guess this cant be changed - but how about a flag "-nooverwrite" to error if the rrd file already exists?

Sorry - this doesn't work. It doesn't overwrite but it doesn't create either - Doh.

Hi,
if you feel like implementing such a check (someone contributed this for rrd_restore once) I'll be glad to integrate it ...
cheers tobi
