The problems I have seen is where Orca displays slightly different
plots for the same data. So you'll end up with two or more disk
plots for the same disks. This is a bug that needs to be fixed.

This is not a bug. The problem was that the way Orca generated
file names could lead to names longer than 256 bytes and the file
could not be generated. The solution to still create unique names
was to take the long name, take its MD5 hash, chop the filename
down to 230 or so bytes and append the MD5 hash. This is why
the names appear like this.

Which version of orcallator.se are you using? I don't think
orcallator.se is smart enough to figure this all out. It will print
the statistics for every disk.

Don't know. Are they in the output generated by orcallator.se?

No, its probably the HTML file that contains the images for all of
the hostnames.
