I don't see how your current set-up is working and I'm tempted
to conclude that you are running a custom version of bb-disk.sh
to support the extra field in bb-dftab. If that is the case,
it's not really possible for others to debug it :(

If what you are looking for is a way to alert different people
for different filesystems, you should be able to achieve what
you want using custom paging scripts. Examples are provided in
the ext/pg directory.

Cheers, Phil.
