Check_disk_smb problem

[Steve Dussaux]

Thanks for your answer but I'm still being confused.
Even you have redefined the plugin usage instruction, the results with % usage are still false
since this plugin returns % FREE and not % USED.
What does it mean to specify a WARNING STATE of 85% FREE and a CRITICAL STATE of 95% FREE disk ?
