Hello.

I need to setup monit to monitor available disk space inside my VE. Monit requires path of device, e.g:

check device rootfs with path /dev/hda1


but inside ve root fs hasn't device address:

# cat /proc/mounts 
simfs / simfs rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0


How I can solve this problem?

I don't understand why the monitor requires device under /dev directory?
How does it use the provided device?
How does it monitor available diskspace?

It's good question and I don't know answer. But in fact 4.x version of monit requires device path for monitoring disk space.

In monit 5.x was added new feature 'check filesystem path /mount_point'. But ubuntu has only 4.x at this moment and it's enouh for my setup. So I decided to ask this question before monit upgrade.
