        Does it also tell you how much spave is needed in /usr, and
 how much in /usr/lib (oh yes, I have that as a separate partition)?
 The new scheme would. It would look at your mounts (/etc/mtab) and
 tell you when a patition is close to being full (say, 95% full)/.

        This is what my fstab looked like (removing the auto dos, and
 nfs mounts):

/dev/hda2               /               ext2    defaults        1       1
/dev/hda5               /opt            ext2    defaults        0       2
/dev/hda6               /home           ext2    defaults        1       2
/dev/hda7               /usr            ext2    defaults        0       2
/dev/hda8               /usr/lib        ext2    defaults        0       2
/dev/hdd3               /usr/local      ext2    defaults        1       2
/dev/hdd5               /var            ext2    defaults        0       2
/dev/hdb1               /opt/dce        ext2    defaults        0       2
/dev/hdb2               /var/spool/mirror       ext2    defaults        0       
2
/dev/hdd6               /u              ext2    defaults        0       2
