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.
