snmptranslate can do that
   snmptranslate  -Tz  | grep -i storage

combine that info with
   snmpwalk -v 2c -c community server.name hrStorageTable

and you have all the oid's you ever wanted

OR
grab the beta of my cfgstoragemaker replacement from
http://www.ru.ac.za/institutes/iwr/iwdf/

NOTE: based on feedback from one tester it has some options for Red 
Hat.  I use it on FreeBSD and it works fine, it is what I use to 
generate my cfg files (including as a cron job after booting)
If you make mods that would make it more general across OS's, please 
send me a copy with explanations so I can update it with relevant 
options.  You need to read the README and the cfgstorage.sh to get it 
working. (no, I don't do perl)
