[Xymon] How to fine-tune limits for filesystem tests?

[Larry Barber]

Whether a parameter is for a yellow or red alerts depends on it's position
in the "DISK" line. The 'U' simply means to use the units that are reported
in the test results rather the percentage used.

I don't think you can combine these like you want, and don't really
understand why you would want to, after all, if you know the size of the
disk you can easily convert between used percentage and amount free. You
just need to set your DISK line to use the more restrictive of the two
parameters.

Thanks,
Larry Barber
