I'm looking to monitor all of the usual suspects to keep an eye on these.

The oddity, for me, is that the simfs device doesn't technically exist. A df shows that my files system is mounted at /dev/simfs but there is no device or link in the /dev directory to correlate to that. I updated check_disk in my nrpe config thinking that if df can see what's mounted there, then nrpe may be able to as well but no luck. Is anyone else monitoring one of these virtual file systems? How did you do it?</font></div> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="tahoma"></font> </div> <div dir="ltr">[root@p4pi0010-r ~]# df<br> Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on<br> /dev/simfs 5242880 687524 4555356 14% /<br> </div> <div dir="ltr">[root@p4pi0010-r ~]# ls /dev<br> {snip}</div> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="tahoma">ptyac ptydd ptyqe ptytf ptyx0 ram1 ttycd ttype ttysf ttyw0 ttyz1<br> ptyad ptyde ptyqf ptyu0 ptyx1 random ttyce ttypf ttyt0 ttyw1 ttyz2<br> ptyae ptydf ptyr0 ptyu1 ptyx2 shm ttycf ttyq0 ttyt1 ttyw2 ttyz3<br> ptyaf ptye0 ptyr1 ptyu2 ptyx3 tty ttyd0 ttyq1 ttyt2 ttyw3 ttyz4</font></div> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="tahoma">{snip}</font></div> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="tahoma"></font> </div> <div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"> <div class="PlainText">Kevin Davison<br> Network Administrator<br> Innosphere SDG Ltd.<br> 147 Wyndham St. N., Ste 306<br> Guelph, ON, N1H 4E9<br> (519) 766-9726 X223<br> Email: kdavison@innosphere.ca<br> Website: www.innosphere.ca</div> </font></div> </div> </body> </html>
