Yup, I see a linecount of 1.

<!-- linecount=1 -->

I wonder if it is caused by the names of the filesystems in the disk 
report.  Seems like "case DT_NETAPP:" in do_disk.c is capable of 
handling them, although I'm not C code expert.  Here's how the 
filesystems are listed in the disk report:

aggr0
aggr0/.snapshot
aggr0total
/vol/prod01/
/vol/prod01/.snapshot
/vol/prod01/total
/vol/vol0/
/vol/vol0/.snapshot
/vol/vol0/total
