Multiple drives as a single mount monitored via SNMP

Hello all,

I've got a question that I'm hoping is easy to answer, but I can't find it anywhere on here. Is there a way to force SNMP monitoring to monitor every drive under a mount as one? On the server I am monitoring (Linux), if I look at the drive space taken per mount, it lists the capacity of all five drives in that mount and is listed at around 50% used, but when SNMP hits it, it comes back with only the capacity of one and is at 92%. I don't see this issue elsewhere, but I was wondering if I had applied anything wrong? The name of the mount is there, but the capacity is incorrect.

Everything I can find suggests that this isn't possible without some further scripting. SNMP will pull disk statistics but not necessary mount stats. One could create a plugin to pull all the disk stats and do the math before returning the final result to Nagios.
