This is normal for SNMP.

You can do this

   Target[disk]: hrStorageUsed.1&hrStorageSize.1:public at host *
   hrStorageAllocationUnits.1&hrStorageAllocationUnits.1:public at host

The only problem doing it this way is you can easily exceed the MAX_LONG
limit inside mrtg's rateup tool (that's the C program that logs data and
creates the graphics) if your disks are too big.

for the most part poorly designed, inconsistent, and poorly documented.
