Note however that suse includes 0.6.6 (with a minimal patch),
and we by now are at 0.6.12 for the stable series.

default unit is KB/sec, but you can append M or G to change the unit
so this means 80M, maybe this would be easier to read.
btw, you are sure you can get 80MB/sec throughput

This is just different.
Heartbeat likes it better if you use its Filesystem resource.
You still have to use the "datadisk" resource, too.
