I'm puzzled by this term of 'disk bandwitdh'. I am not quit sure we are on 
the same wavelenght here. But I could imagine digging up the absolute 
counters and using rrd to build the usual graphs out of them.

The issue I think is getting very frequent measurements and normalizing 
them in some sort so you can obtain average and maximum values out of 
them.
