Change server statistics disk tab to a different patition

[mikeyes]

When I click on Server statistics and then click on the disk tab it shows a graph of the disk usage. The graph that is shown is of the boot partition. My main partition (where zimbra is installed) does not show.

Is there any way to configure this and make the server statistics look at a different partition?

SUSE 10 SP2
/ partition is LVM formatted as EXT3

Just curious if anyone had an idea for this?

On 5.0.x the disk logging is controlled by /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmdisklog.
This file first executes `mount -t ext3` and then runs `df -mlP` on each of the mount points it finds and parses the result. Beyond something odd with the output of that... I don't know why it wouldn't be showing as your main partition is ext3.

When I check the server partitions the /boot volume is setup as a normal boot volume but when I use the mount command it appears to be showing up as ext3.

I am using LVM on my primary partition.

Is there any way to easily modify the script to show a specific volume?

What does the output of `mount` look like?

/dev/mapper/system-root on / type reiserfs (rw,acl,user_xattr)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5)
/dev/sda2 on /boot type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr)
/dev/mapper/system-tmp on /tmp type reiserfs (rw,acl,user_xattr)
securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)

Ok that is what I suspected from the start... your root (/) partition is NOT ext3 as you originally stated. It is formatted as reiserfs. Back in 5.0.x the disk statistics only gathered for ext3 partitions (they changed this in 6.0.x I think from looking at the script).

Anyway to get your / partition to show up in the disk statistics you just need to change what partitions it grabs data for. To do this you just need to change line 48 of /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmdisklog.

To get it to only show for reiserfs partitions (/ and /tmp, or device wise /dev/mapper/system-root and /dev/mapper/system-tmp) then change the line to read:

$MNTCMD = "mount -t reiserfs";

To get it to show both reiserfs and ext3 partitions change it to:

$MNTCMD = "mount -t ext3,reiserfs";

Thanks and sorry for the mis-information up front. I made that change and I'll see if it takes effect.
