Re: [monit] Monitor mounts with monit

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

which Monit version do you use and can you show the configuration?

The "check filesystem ..." test was added in Monit-5.0 (we have  
renamed "check device" to "check filesystem" since word "device"  was  
confusing). Monit-5.0 supports "check device" as alias for "check  
filesystem" for backward compatibility.

If you use Monit < 5.0, you should use "check device".
