I'm using the default localhost_nagios2.cfg config file which check for
< 20% free (warning) and < 10% free (critical), however none of my
partitions exceeds 66%. I received another message later which has
nearly identical values. Note that I did not truncate the text below, it
actually does end with an open parenthesis:
