Fixed In Version: Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: sysstat didn't check whether the sa daily data files exist from previous month when appending new statistics to them Consequence: in some edge cases (as for example short month) sysstat was appending new statistics to the old sa daily data files Fix: sysstat was modified to check whether the old sa daily data file exists and remove it if it does before appending new data to it Result: sysstat doesn't append new statistics to the old sa daily data files anymore
