I got a sample of code up at http://hvdkooij.xs4all.nl/stats/ which you may want to look into. You need to get 3 variables to get the actual size + usages. 1 being the unit size 2 being the number of units for the device (partition) 3 being the number of allocated units for the device Total size = 1 * 2 Used = 1 * 3 This is easily discovered by doing an snmpwalk over a device and dropping the results in a file. Studying this file has shown me al the nice options I can monitor. Hugo. -- All email sent to me is bound to the rules described on my homepage.
