GkrellM: Request to "merge" filesystem monitor with disk usage.

(this mail is best viewed in fixed-width font format)

Good day,

I have a small question/suggestion/request. Why not make it possible to have the
 Disk Monitor be linked to the Filesystem usage in question?

For instance, if / is mounted on sda1, and I have a non-composite chart displaying for
 sda1, I think I'd find it more useful if the meter right below the chart were not a
 percentual representation of the current disk traffic, but the disk usage (as
displayed on the filesystem built-in section).

That way, instead of displaying a monitor for Sda1, Sda2, and then filesystem
monitors for / and /home, I could use only the first two charts.

Also...why I can't use labels for the different disk meters? I can't always remember
 what sda1, sda2, sda3, sr0 and so on are.

The mock-up for idea would be....

Current "Option" dialogue for Disk:

Active | Disk |
 _       Composite graph for all disks
 _       sda
 X        sda1
 _        sda2
 X        sda3

Updated to:

Active | Disk |  Label | Show Usage
 _       Composite graph for all disks
 _       sda     disk    _
 X        sda1   root    X
 _        sda2   boot    _
 X        sda3   home    X

When set, the chart for the disk would look like (sda1):

/------\
|      |
|      |
|      |
|.. .  |
|  . ..| <- ~10% disk activity
+------+
|XXXX__| <- ~60% disk used
|root  | <- custom label
\------/

Thanks in advance for the consideration,
~Skot.
