Yay!  Someone besides me is using this. :-)

Sounds similar to something I had to do with a bunch of storage mount
points.  You are just measuring QPS instead of space used.

You'll have to write some PHP code to munge things properly, and
there's a good chance it won't be pretty.  This is at least partially
a function of using RRDTOOL for the graph generation, with its
requirement for using RPN...

I've attached the storage_report.php file I use for tracking disk
space aggregated from a number of different computers.  The file is
pretty heavily commented, but feel free to ask questions either here
on the mailing list, or in the #ganglia IRC channel on Freenode (I'm
usually lurking there).
