Invalid range for meters

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

For example, for my Gigabit net, maximal range for network throughput should be always 1 Gigabit, if low-level link established as 1 Gbit, and 100 Mbit if link established as 100 mbit.

The same triaged for hard drive. My hard drive can read/write at speed about 70 MB/s. So graph should use this speed as maximal. If speed can't be discovered, there is two method - 1. user should specify maximal speed by hand, 2. maximal value during all history should be computed, saved and used.

Thanks for your report, that's something to send directly upstream at http://bugzilla.gnome.org by someone having the issue, for forwarding instructions please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME, Thanks in advance.

I would venture the argument that a logarithmic scale would be the best way to approach this. The autoadjusting linear scale looks pretty, but does little to convey useful information as to actual utilization or throughput and is such just plain confusing. I think most users are probably interested in getting an idea as to the throughput of the network or disk. Setting maximums specific to machine could make a pretty graph, but it also involves hidden differences in scale from machine to machine.

Plus, it would be dead easy to implement.
