I'm not sure I was able to understand your description, fully. However,
Big Sister identifies monitored file systems by mountpoint. Thus, if
you have mounted whatever:/somepath on, let's say /mnt/whatever today,
and have mounted whatever:/someotherpath on /mnt/whatever tomorrow, then
Big Sister will think that both file systems are the same.

On the other hand, if you unmount /mnt/whatever and remount it under
/mnt/somewhereelse, then the /mnt/whatever graph will continue existing
(but without any data logged) while /mnt/somewhereelse comes into
existance, too.

Big Sister never drops graphs automatically. In order to remove them
you have to shut down Big Sister server, remove the respective
.graph and .rrd files in /var/lib/bigsister/graph, and then start the
server again.

Best regards,
Tom
