>Summary: check_disk not only for free space, but also used space

Initial Comment:
Hi everybody,

I have to monitor many filesystems and usually I use
check_disk for this task, which let me define how much
space have to be left in the filesystem before a
warning or even critical state is encountered.

Today I met a new request. Somebody wants to monitor if
there are any files (Heapdumps) in filesystem. This
filesystem is exclusive for these dumps. So it should
always be empty, besides a 32MB reiserfs journal.

So what I wanted to do is, to warn if there ist more
than 32MB used. But this filesystem has different
sizes, (between 512MB and 8G) on different systems. So
the possibility to define warning und critical
thresholds based on free space is not satisfying me.

I will write a simple wrapper in shell for it now, but
maybe there will be a possibility in check_disk to
define if free or used space is compared against
thresholds.

Thanks.

Tobias
