I just realized the problem with this.

The mntU_* is disk usage in kBytes, so the data_min and data_max will 
ignore all data that it smaller than 0 kBytes or larger than 100 Kbytes, 
so you'll load almost no data.  You're thinking the mntU is a 
percentage, when it is not.

Try this plot:

plot {
title			%g Filesystem Usage: $1
source			orcallator
data			1024 * mntU_(.*)
data			1024 * mntA_$1
line_type		area
line_type		stack
legend			Used
legend			Available
y_legend		Bytes
plot_min		0
base			1024
}

If you want percentage, then ideally something like this should work, 
but I'm pretty certain Orca can't deal with this:

plot {
title			%g Filesystem Usage: $1
source			orcallator
data			mntU_(.*) / mntA_$1
line_type		area
legend			Used
y_legend		Percentage
plot_min		0
plot_max		100
}

Blair
