my understanding is close to yours. As I'm quite involved with cacti, an rrdtool frontend, I'd like to direct Jan to http://www.cacti.net and the forums at http://forums.cacti.net. There are templates, that support those disk usage thingies. They store the"description" of the disk in a mysql table and create "dynamic" rrdtool graph statements providing the according "description" as a title or the like. hth Reinhard -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/rrd-users WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
