[Bug 620460] [NEW] snmpd didn't support diskpartitions larger than 2TB

[Tobias Arend]

Public bug reported:

Placed at the Hosts specific MIB, there is no chance to report partitions larger than 2TB via SNMP.
Example: We have created several partition that are greater then 10TB. The usage will be reoprted correctly until the usage will reach 2TB. After that SNMP ist reporting several, but permanently different values, so that our alertmonitor is permanently confused. All other disks in the system are monitored correctly. Having a look inside several files, it seems to me, that the current valueformat field is defined for an integer32. Is it possible, to change that by default to integer64 or long, because this would allow systemmonitorings for up to 18ZB.
