I presume you're concerned about the limitation of hrStorageSize
to a 31 bit value (i.e 2 Terabytes when measured in Kb)?
But remember that this is to be used in conjunction with the
hrStorageAllocationUnits object, which can handle units up
to 2Gb.
   So the hrStorageTable can actually support filesystems
up to 4 Exabytes in size (i.e. 2^62 bytes = 4,000,000 TB),
albeit with some loss in granularity.
  That should comfortably support most filesystems for
the foreseeable future.

Not actively.
I've slowly been working on improving the Host Resources
implementation, merging this with the UCD-specific MIB table
code, under a new "Hardware Application Layer".   Disk
storage is the next area that I intend to cover as part of this.
   But the moment, we're about to start a new release cycle,
so I'm concentrating on getting this under way.

You've got the source - have a look at tweaking the
hrStorage code to work in units of 1Mb, instead of
1Kb.
