Stupid answer: yes. Next question: _How_ can I monitor disk usage with mrtg Next Answer: First make sure you know what you want to monitor -exactly-. There is quite some difference between df and du. There's quite some difference between "df" and "df -i". And so on. Then write a program or script that returns the numbers you want to monitor. It must return at least one number and at most two numbers. Two is best (for future changes in MRTG). Next thing is to worry about MRTG. Read the manuals and focus on the external program interface. Because you already completed the previous steps, integrating it with MRTG is peanuts. Alternatively for steps #1 .. #3: hire a consultant.
