diskstats plugin: error "Byte order is not compatible"

Bug #872217 reported by Daniel Hahler on 2011-10-11

	munin (Ubuntu)	Fix Released	Medium	Vibhav Pant	Ubuntu ubuntu-12.04-beta-2

Bug Description

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-*

@Chuck: can you please include the patch from http://munin-monitoring.org/changeset/4608 into Ubuntu?
It appears trivial to backport.

Thanks for your work on this. I took the liberty of making the following modifications:
- update the changelog to base on the newest version
- use 'edit-patch' to get the patch into a format the patch system (quilt) understands
- add some description to patch file.

Uploading it right now. As we're in Beta Freeze, it might sit in the review queue for a bit.
