[CentOS] Reseted net statistics

[happymaster23]

Thank you for answer,

last number of transefered data that I seen was about three or four
gigabytes - this is too low for roll over or not?

I´m not using phpSysInfo for monitoring transfered data and I do not want to
monitor them. I was only surprised how it happened.
