Hi everyone,

I am fascinated by check_disk... When looking at the output of
"check_disk --help", I read

- ---snip---
check_disk v1.4.15 (nagios-plugins 1.4.15)
[...]
 -p, --path=PATH, --partition=PARTITION
    Path or partition (may be repeated)
[...]
 -M, --mountpoint
    Display the mountpoint instead of the partition
 -m, --megabytes
    Same as '--units MB'
[...]
 -u, --units=STRING
    Choose bytes, kB, MB, GB, TB (default: MB)
- ---pins---

So I constructed a command:
- ---
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 7% -c 5% -M /ocfs2/sap03 -u GB
- ---
and I expected the output in GB, but I got:
- ---
DISK OK - free space: /dev/sdd 759752 MB (54% inode=54%);|
/dev/sdd=640899MB;1302605;1330618;0;1400651
- ---
I get the result in MB instead of GB, because check_disk misinterprets
- -M as -m. As a proof I tried the command
- ---
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 7% -c 5% -p /ocfs2/sap03 -u GB
- ---
and got - as expected -
- ---
DISK OK - free space: /ocfs2/sap03 741 GB (54% inode=54%);|
/ocfs2/sap03=625GB;1271;1298;0;1367
- ---

BTW, I'm working with SLES 11 SP1 here, but the nagios plugin packages
are taken from the server:monitoring repository on SUSE's build service
(<http://software.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring>)

It was nice if the next version of the plugin would differ between
uppercase and lowercase letters ;-)

Regards,
Werner
