well, defining service as you defined for me, i have no problem doing
that, but i was hoping maybe there is something else besides
check_disk that can see if external storage is exists/attached to my
box, and i really didnt want to hardcode devices and/or mount points
as if something adds changes it wouldnt pick it up on the fly, while
if you not using -p in check_disk plugin it would have pick up
anything that is available, in my case its also a bad thing since if
drive isn't available then check_disk wouldn't even see that either,
it can only say if there is an issue with disk space and that is it.
