    Make your data gathering script do that.  Although, most systems will report
both used, as well as free space.  You just need to grab the right value.  I'm
monitoring 3 machines' disk spaces right now, and all three of them (different
platforms) report both used, as well as free space, and all I care for is the
used one, so I only parse out that information.
