I'd noticed the presence of a variable denoting the size of the units
returned by the hrStorageUsed queries. I hadn't thought of multiplying two
SNMP values, though, I'd been looking to perform a constant multiplication
and had thought that 'Factor:' would do that. The manual speaks true in that
that option only affects the numbers displayed underneath the graphs...

So I've learnt (the hard way). ;-)

Thanks a lot for your advice, I'll include the multiplication in my config
file. It'll make the graphs much more easily grasped.

Cheers,
Tobias
