Nagios Disk Check - Mountpoint or Filesystem?
If you mount filesystems under a specific mount point, and monitor
them with Nagios, then be sure
you understand what happens if the underlying file system goes away.
With:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 15% -c 10% -p /a_mount_point
you'll get the value from the containing file system. In this case
/. If you'd rather know that your chosen mount point has
actually gone away, and that you're no longer checking what you thought
you were, then add the -E option to the command. This will
turn on exact path matching and catch that kind of error.
