I've got it working now, and made a few tweaks so that the nfs ops (the 
only thing we use) were tracked on their own graph, instead of as a part 
of a group.  Makes the graph scaling easier on the eyes.  ;)

I was going to just hack up the do_disk.c file and see what I could do, 
but sounds like waiting is the better option.  filerstats2bb used to put 
the .snapshots filesystem alongside those in the disk column, which 
worked out pretty well except for segregating the snapshot alerts to 
separate users.

Perfect.

Again, very cool. I now have an ops column on my front page, displaying 
NFS data, and it is a welcome site.  :)

I was going to try and get a way to collect the disk %utilization values 
for my volumes (those are displayed when you collect data with statit 
for a period of time).  That would also be a extremely useful data point.
