Oh yes!  Now it includes size as well.  However, disk-conf reports another 
size figure than df does:

part         xst             df (1k blocks)   df (kbytes)  delta
sda8      313236            303251          310529      2707
sda12   1148616          1148568         1176133    27565

Where does the delta comes from, which source should I trust now?

What I'm still missing is the available space figure.  This is maybe not 
interesting for configuration, but for maintenance it is.  When running 
disk-conf from a cron say weekly and by providing the output to the SA, 
he/she will be able to quickly determine the filesystem health (concerning 
space).
