Use the 'units' form, e.g.:

DISK /bigdisk  300000U 100000U

Only checks the number of blocks, but at least you can do that.

For DISK test now we have  only -  "thresholds are percentages - they
trigger when the filesystem has filled up to the percentage you specify."

But on some disks 5% free is 5G and in some 30G - and sending warning whenwe
have 30GB free is not always relevant.
I know - it is possible to increase percentages by individual sessings for
each host,
but I think - checking not only percentage, but also free space in MB/GB -
is not big deal and can be added to basic functionality.

I use the same approach for testing used/free in Oracle DB tablespaces - and
I know this more usefull then just percentage..

This can be done as extra parameters - in this case BOTH - percantage AND MB
criteria should be checked
or as existing params (2nd, 3d) with -MB/GB - will be treated as size and
XyMon will check only MB free.
