As far as getting free-space info into the tooltips for the icon, I don't think there is another way -unless one patched the filer itself to show such info for mount points.
Personally, I just use gtkdiskfree. It has a dynamic display, which means that it is also polling, but less expensively than a bash script would be.
The problem with using the tooltips is that the AppInfo.xml must be re-written every cycle and could be corrupted while doing so. I think a right-click action (to launch some indicator) would be a better solution.
Polling should be avoided like the plague.

Amigo is correct as always. Avoid polling!
Sadly there is no common way to trigger other code like this.
Perhaps an inet type damon that polls /sys and /proc for triggers,
then reads a list of apps, etc. to activate or write to.

If you're a bit of a masochist, would the info given by partview make you happy?

In my T.O.P.L.E.S.S. LazY Puppy 5 Systems I had made patches of
- /usr/local/bin/drive_all
- /usr/local/pup_event/frontend_funcs
It is to enable/disable by the config files and has option to refresh/update manually by right-clicking the drive icon - besides some more options not yet in standard Puppy.
Works in all of my T.O.P.L.E.S.S. LazY Puppy Systems (tahr, unicorn, vivid, xenial, slacko - 32bit/64bit all WoofCE).
See attached images.
