[Nfsen-discuss] resetting profile data size

Hi,

Following yesterday's $PROFILEDATA filesystem failure and consequent
data loss I recreated the relevant directories under the $PROFILEDATA
heirarchy.

The problem is that the profiles still think they have all the data in
them (as far as profile size goes in the stats page) .. however the
profileinfo (in the details page) echoes the true details about the
start/end times of the profile-data.

What this means is that, currently, nfsen is reporting the profile-size
as 891.5GB (real size 386MB), but the start/end times are 10:00-10:15
today (current time 10:22). This means that it has expired data since
the PROFILEDATA filesystem has been brought back online (and empty).

How do I go about getting nfsen to notice the disk space has changed,
and is lower than it currently thinks?

The part caveat to that is that rebuilding the profile has always wiped
the RRD data for me (and rebuilt it using the nfcapd logs) which means I
lose a lot of graph data - 4 months in my case.

Hacking the profile.dat may be a solution but, if there is a
better/cleaner way it would be good, as I'll be documenting it for
others to know.

For info, I'm using the latest snapshot (that I know of):
