The Least Space / Disk Space container in the Disk Activity panel displays the percentage of used disk space for the specified filesystem.
The Used Percentage alarm indicates that the filesystem is full or filling up. If the filesystem fills up completely, no more data can be written to it. For example:
Notes:
- The filesystem that has the least amount of free space, OR
- A user-specified filesystem on the Unix host.
The Zombie button in the CPU panel shows the number of terminated child processes that have not been acknowledged by their parent process.
A high level of zombie processes is indicative of the presence of an inferior program, or an entry in /etc/inittab (or equivalent) preventing init from completing its startup sequence.
The type of alarm that is activated is determined by the number of zombie processes waiting to be exited.
