Automatic way to monitor new filesystems?

[Mark Plaksin]

Hi,

Is there an way to get Nagios to notice and start monitoring newly-created
filesystems?  We're looking at Nagios as a replacement for BigBrother.
BigBrother does this automatically.  We have lots of filesystems on each of
our machines; we add and delete database filesystems on a regular basis.

We've discussed writing a plugin that returns a warning if a "new"
filesystem exists, where "new" means anything that's not in a list of
filesystems we provide.  And then finding some magic (embedded Perl?) to
get the list of monitored filesystems.  We've also discussed other
similarly complicated scenarios.

Does anybody have a pretty solution to this problem?

Many thanks!
