This indeed is a limitation of rrdtool. You can't officially expand existing
rrd's to add a new data source (item).
But to my knowledge, now some additional utilities exist to overcome this
pitfall. There's RRD::Tweak, a perl module; but I don't know whether this
handles exactly your request.

I'm curious if there is a way to avoid this pitfall? Can I just add an additional output without ruining any current data source or is this a limitation with rdd?
