Hi Stef,

On AIX, there is more than just excluding NFS and /proc.

In fact, you just want JFS and JFS2 vfs types.  All other (procfs, nfs,
cifs, etc) should not be checked with df at all for 2 reasons:

- You will hang the df command if the remote host is not responding
- Only jfs/jfs2 are usefull.

Personnaly, what I do is the following (I'm sure there could be
other/better methods):

In the file  /home/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-aix.sh

###########################################################################
##### # Change to remove NFS and CIFS filesystems
#df -Ik | sed -e '/^[^  ][^     ]*$/{
df -Ik `mount | awk '$3~/jfs/ {printf $2 " "}'` | sed -e '/^[^  ][^ ]*$/{
###########################################################################

Nice done.  

I just tested it on my AIX servers, and it is working flawless.


Henrik, can you change this for the next release ?
