## Symptoms

- * **Note:** This issue was fixed in Check Point release R80.40( and above) which use net-snmp package version 5.8.
* SNMP query of available disk space on a filesystem returns an error  

  Example for /var/log:

  ```
  [Expert@System:0]# snmpwalk -v3 -l authNoPriv -u snmptest -a MD5 -A snmptest123 192.168.1.10 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.33
  HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.33 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID
  ```

  <br />

  Looking in /var/log/snmpd.log shows:   
  `[...]
  /var/log: Value too large for defined data type`

  <br />

* SNMP query of available disk space on a filesystem returns a negative value


  Example for /var/log:  

  ```
  
  [Expert@System:0]# snmpwalk -v3 -l authNoPriv -u admin -a MD5 -A AdminAdmin 192.168.1.10 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.33
  HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageSize.33 = INTEGER: -805828109
  ```

  <br />

## Cause

Check Point Gaia releases R77 - R80.30 use 3rd party net-snmp package version 5.4.2.1, that uses a 32 bit integer to represent the disk space and available disk space on a filesystem.

32 bit integer is too small of a value for modern filesystems, so often disk space in */var/log* is greater, then can be represented using 32 bit.
