Subject: Re: [mrtg] SNMP Disk Space Negative Values
Hello Christian , While no expert , I (off the top of my head) think
may be a wrap around error for Snmp-V1 try snmp-V2 , add ":::::2" to the end of
the query string .

You have reached a limitation of host resources MIB - with block size of 4096
bytes, counters wrap at about 9TB.
The problem is SNMP, not MRTG. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2790.html#page-11
