Currently monitoring 535 servers on a system that was first installed 6 
years ago, my setup is using 16G of a 20G filesystem. Everything is 
installed in and running from that filesystem, including all RRD DBs.

15G of that is in the data directory, with 11G of that residing in the 
data/hostdata and 3.9G of residing in data/histlogs.
