well, you can consider the test case for Disk space thresholds - where in, the disk space usage should not exceed more than the set threshold limit.

now, you can have a script running continously which alerts if utilisation is beyond the threshold value.

for script, search for "disk monitoring script" - in our forum there are lot of *Good* posts are there.

Hope i answered!!
