In this screenshot, _[https://github.com/putztzu/Misc\_images/blob/master/marvel\_only.png](https://github.com/putztzu/Misc_images/blob/master/marvel_only.png)_[https://github.com/putztzu/Misc\_images/blob/master/marvel\_only.png](https://github.com/putztzu/Misc_images/blob/master/marvel_only.png) The "Free Disk Space" is displayed in red. Does this red color mean something, eg a warning of some kind or is it simply stylistic? I remember when I was pointing the data directory to hundreds of gigabytes instead of tens, the color was still red.

Hi Tony, The red color does mean it needs attention. By default, Marvel will warn you if you have less than 50GB of free space (displayed in yellow) and will go red if you have less than 20GB. If you had higher numbers displayed in color, please let me know as it is a bug.
