The option -s to shorten the descriptive name of the interface only applies to the Status field; it has no effect on the performance labels. If you are using the performance labels as DS names in RRDTool for making graphs, it is possible to exceed the 19 character limitation with some description names. Also, if the description has a / character it is not replaced with a _.
