It was fixed in monit 5.0 ... changelog excerpt:
* Support use of symbolic links in filesystem check. Thanks to
Aleksander Kamenik for suggestion. Example:
check filesystem rootfs path
/dev/disk/by-uuid/4ef973f7-67d1-4bb0-8223-cb1c692b72e4
if space usage > 95% then alert
if inode usage > 95% then alert
--8<--
you can get monit version using 'monit -V'

Except... It doesn't work.
1 - I don't understand why udev doesn't create all label symlinks
# e2label /dev/sda3
opt
# ls /dev/disk/by-label/
slash ssd
2 - Monit doesn't like symlinks ?!
monit[2865]: 'ssd' unable to read device /dev/disk/by-label/ssd state
I guess it's easier to check volumes by their real device name!

Hi Martin,
Thanks to you, I justs discovered some great default udev rules.
By the way, udev also manages another directory on my debian systems : /dev/disk/by-label
Thanks!

Hi,
labels are not supported currently but you can use UUID of the filesystem like this:
check filesystem with path /dev/disk/by-uuid/67544096-06a6-4f68-bed1-b03398641fb7
... there are also alternative names in /dev/disk/by-id/ and /dev/disk/by-path/ or you can use the mountpoint instead of device name.
Regards,
Martin
