How does the hrStorageTable handle very large disks (> 20tb, for instance).

Hey all,

I've been dealing with this problem for some time.  We have some large disks here that cannot be measured accurately in the hrStorageTable due to a 32 bit integer being too small.  I understand that when the value is too large, it raps the counter.  In many of these cases, you can transform that value to get the correct value by performing:

2*2^32-{value}

A problem arises, however, if the drive size's representation is greater than 2^32*2 (or 2^33).  Does net-snmp have any mib available similar to the hrStorageTable that shows disk logical disk information with 64 bit counters?

Thanks
