That all depends on how 'check_local_disk' is defined. Look in your
checkcommands.cfg (and any other .cfg's you might have) for something
that looks like this:
define command{
command_name check_local_disk
command_line $USER1$/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$
}
That defines what 'check_local_disk' means. In your case, '40%' would
be $ARG1$, '10%' would be $ARG2$, and '/dev/hda2' would be $ARG3$.
You can manually run 'check_disk' with the '-h' option to see what all
the options do.
