    Nagios is cool but probably overkill for monitoring your own drive. Have you thought about
    giving yourself a quota so you *can't* fill up the drive? Quota also sends a warning when
    you are approaching your limit. Set your limit to a _near_ full drive and then you'll know
    when you're close.
