I just check the backup logs every now and again. Knowing how long it takes to backup a database of a certain size, I can guess at how the databases are growing by seeing how much longer it takes to do a backup.
Most places will bounce the servers once a month. You can check file sizes then, as well. One last solution in the "free and easy" category is to set up a mail loop. Then you'll know the databases will quickly be too large for the system resources at hand and will likely shut down, gracefully or otherwise. At any rate, unless you're having a mail loop or some other disaster, disk utilization isn't something you necessarily check every day. And in such a disaster, it's a foregone conclusion the numbers will be very BAD until after you clean things up. Since cleanup often involves stopping and restarting things, you can check on file sizes when you're done. No worries.
