Maybe we could have the clients report both ways - using the "-P" option for
feeding data into the graphs, checking utilisation against the client config
and so on - and have a different command whose output is displayed on the
disk status ?

It wouldn't be difficult to implement, but my worry is that there might be
a situation where the two sets of data are slightly different (e.g. rounding
errors, or a rapidly growing file between the two measurements) and that
will be confusing.
