Checking both percentage and space with check_disk - percentage fails

[Oliver Skibbe]

I think you have three options:
1. Provide a patch which will make your request working
2. Separate checks, as James proposed
3. Separate checks, but with check_multi combined.


Personally i would prefer first option, but third option is also fine,
because in that case you don't have to add multiple services.

Best regards
