rrdtool resize - alters the size of an RRA.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<rrdtool> B<resize> I<filename> I<rra-num>  B<GROW>I<|>B<SHRINK> I<rows>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<resize> function is used to modify the number of rows in
an B<RRA>.

=over 8

=item I<filename> 

the name of the B<RRD> you want to alter.

=item I<rra-num> 

the B<RRA> you want to alter. You can find the number using B<rrdtool dump>.

=item B<GROW> 

used if you want to add extra rows to an RRA. The extra rows will be inserted
as the rows that are oldest.

=item B<SHRINK> 

used if you want to remove rows from an RRA. The rows that will be removed
are the oldest rows.

=item I<rows> 

the number of rows you want to add or remove.

=back

=head1 NOTES

It is possible to abuse this tool and get strange results
by first removing some rows and then reinsert the same amount (effectively
clearing them to be Unknown). You may thus end up with unknown data in one
RRA while at the same timestamp this data is available in another RRA.
