How about a seat post mounted rack? They work on just about anything.

Old Man Mountain makes a rack specifically for bikes with rear disks:

These are sold through local bike shops. There's a dealer listing at

I like the fact they used a Giant NRS for the picture, lol.

I have a rack on my rear disc bike. I used a longer bolt for the top disc mount and put that through
the rack fixing hole first then throught the disk mount. Use a "P" shaped band to fix the other side
on of the rack (this was a little fiddly. Rack sits a bit higher than it did before, but otherwise
no problems (in fact better as paniers foul chain less).
