It works, it got reset. But I'm still confused with the vnstat -r.
thank you. :D

Can you provide us with the output of :
vnstat -D -r
whoami
ls -la /var/lib/vnstat
sudo service vnstat status
sudo chown -R vnstat:vnstat /var/lib/vnstat
from vnstat.

The service (vnstatd) needs to be stopped when modifying the databases directly or with the vnstat command. Otherwise, the daemon will overwrite any modifications with the data it keeps in a memory buffer.

I tried 'disable and reboot'; stopped, and masked the vnstat.service (one by one) but somehow It still run. (maybe)
I forgot to mention, I'm in antergos/archlinux.
Am I doing it wrong again?

When in doubt, check the man page :)
-r, --reset Reset the internal counters in the database for the selected interface. Use this if the interface goes down and back up, otherwise that interface will get some extra traffic to its database. Not needed when the daemon is used.
But thanks for pointing out what caused confusion. I'll either rephrase the help output or drop this parameter in case it has no use with the upcoming sql database.
