I was just curious how the unfamiliar admin would be able to determine
backups have stopped.  From what I can tell, the host summary does not
report if backups have stopped due to DfMaxUsagePct being exceeded.

But I was able to find a section in bin/BackupPC_sendEmail which will
report this particular case:

  if ( $Info{DUDailySkipHostCntPrev} > 0 ) {
      my $n = $Info{DUDailySkipHostCntPrev};
      my $m = $Conf{DfMaxUsagePct};
      $adminMesg .= <<EOF;
  Yesterday $n hosts were skipped because the file system containing
  $TopDir was too full.  The threshold in the
  configuration file is $m%, while yesterday the file system was
  up to $Info{DUDailyMaxPrev}% full.  Please find more space on the file system,
  or reduce the number of full or incremental backups that we keep.
  
  EOF
  }

So perhaps the host summary or Server Status page could communicate
that DfMaxUsagePct has been exceeded as well as the raw numbers which
it currently reports...

  Pool file system was recently at 90% (3/17 09:12), today's max is
  90% (3/17 01:00) and yesterday's max was 90%.

I'm just trying to think how it could be clearer, so users don't need
to email the support list :)

Thanks for your reply so far.
