POLA violation?: snmp renumbering stuff

[paul beard]

For some reason, my locally installed snmp daemons decided to renumber 
the elements in the hrStorageTable, meaning all the attached disks were 
being either misreported or just plain dropped from my graphs 
(paulbeard.no-ip.org/mrtg/blue/index.html). Not that the new numbering 
doesn't make sense but I didn't know this was going to happen.

How to discover and fix it? snmptable is my friend. As shown here, the 
memory used by the kernel is listed first, followed by the disks. The 
disks were numbered starting at 1 before . . . . .
