<p class="MsoNormal">It seems prudent to note here that a file system that reports 100% full can have quite a bit of free space. Take for example a 10TB file system that is no longer written to — no one wants to use 100GB just to make the alert color green.
This gets silly very quickly at even “medium” sizes...<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">What would be really cool would be to decide how much reserved space you want, look at the velocity[1] with which the filesystem is filling, and then alert when the time until left until full is less than an operations shift (or something
useful). Maybe that is just silly.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hey, Jan-Frode, can you mount the no-more-data file systems read only? Maybe not alerting on the full-ness of read only filesystems is easier and more sane? I mean, they can’t fill up any more.<o:p></o:p></p>

Does anybody know if there are any way to define what thresholds are to be used for alterting in the GUI? F.ex. we have some filesystems that are very full, but won't be getting any more data added.. we'd like to turn off monitoring of these, are raise the
threshold to allow them to be ~100% full.<br>
