Can monit filesystem check handle NTFS disk?

I am getting "unable to read filesystem '/dev/sdb1' state" from monit and don't understand why. fdisk -l shows /dev/sbd1: /dev/sdb1 2048 283113471 283111424 135G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT It is not mounted but exists under /dev/sdb1 The monit config looks like this

  group filesystem
  if space usage > 80 % then alert
  if inode usage > 80 % then alert

Can anybody give me a hint why monit alerts?

Best regards

Thomas

Solution

  • Sorry your configuration is incomplete, it is lacking the check and mount point. For example:

    check filesystem NTFS_Disk with path /mnt/ntfs_disk

    Make sure you are monitoring a mount point and not a device (like /dev/sdb1)
