Package: vnstat
Severity: normal

There is an unexpected difference between the vnstat and the vnstatd binaries: 
In a low diskspace scenario, the CheckDiskSpace option set to 0 comes in handy. 
Setting this option to 0 updates the database file even if the remaining 
diskspace is <1MB. The vnstatd daemon however, does not update the database in 
this case.

>From the vnstat source code: (line 540)
   if (!spacecheck(dirname) && !force) {
>From the vnstatd source code: (line 337)
   if (spacecheck(dirname)) {

I would opt that both binaries behave the same way, ie replace line 337 in 
vnstatd.c by
   if (spacecheck(dirname)||force) {

Thanks,
Thomas
