Nagios' check_disk plug-in gets confused when "df -k" reports negative space remaining on a drive. For example, if df -k says:
/dev/ccd0 567673758 524004492 -1744634 100% /partname nagios' check_disk says: DISK OK - free space: /partname 17592186042712 MB (-1% inode=97%) Is there a workaround here? Can check_disk be told to throw an error if the remaining space *exceeds* a certain number? Can I tell it "if you see more than 1 terabyte available, something is wrong [because the machine in question doesn't have that much disk space], so report an error"? (Unix, of course, reserves space for the root user, so negative space remaining just means all the user space has been used up + then some) -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology. We feel that resistance to new ideas and technology is unwise and ultimately futile. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
