[Bug 872217] [NEW] diskstats plugin: error "Byte order is not compatible"

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Vibhav Pant (vibhavp):

The diskstats plugin fails to provide any data since a while:

    % sudo munin-run diskstats
    Byte order is not compatible at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into ../../lib/auto/Storable/thaw.al) line 415, at /etc/munin/plugins/diskstats line 120

Line 120 mentioned in the error is the second line of the following
return value in the function choose_old_state:

    return $return_timestamp,
      %{ thaw decode_base64 $states{$return_timestamp} };

I assume that upgrading from Ubuntu Natty to Oneiric might have caused
this?!

I am using munin 1.4.6-1ubuntu1 currently, which has not made it into
Ubuntu though yet (merged from Debian by myself).

WORKAROUND:
sudo rm /var/lib/munin/plugin-state/diskstats-*
