I would like to add some fields to the ssh MOTD.
MOTD today:

I know that I could change this to a static message by pointing /etc/motd to something else than /var/run/motd but I do not want to loose the generated data that is presented today.
Is it possible to add the disk usage off two additional hard drives to the message that is generated by default? For example:

Take a look at the Ubuntu Wiki article about the design of the update-motd application. This program is contained in the update-motd package and will help you to create a more dynamic MOTD.

This answer doesn't really address the question - it just points somewhere else. Can you pull some of the key details into your answer?

The files you need to edit live in /etc/update-motd.d.
See the update-motd man page for details about how it works.
My version of Ubuntu doesn't show the disk usage, so I'm not sure which script exactly you need to edit.
