Yes, the disk python module under gmond/python_modules/disk adds a 'mount' extra data to the definition. Basically in a python module, any extra properties that you add to the metric definition dictionary will show up as extra data in the metadata for the metric. Of course it is up to you to modify the web front end to take advantage of the extra metadata. You should be able to see in the front end PHP code where extra data like 'Group' and 'Title' are being used.
