The difference in behaviour comes from how the number of disk graphs
is determined; the "disk" view counts the number of lines in the
current status-message, whereas the "trends" view actually counts
the number of disk*.rrd files stored (there is one such file for each
graph).

I think the lines with the red/yellow "warning lights" confuse the
line-counting algorithm used by the "disk" status view. If you do a
"view source" of the disk status page, there is a line like this:

   <!-- linecount=9 -->
   <table summary="disk Graph"><tr><td><A 

near the bottom. The linecount should match the number of filesystems
in your status message, +/- 1.
