Hey all,

I've been browsing the mailing lists for how to disable monitoring my
CD-ROM drives. I've stumbled across a few threads about this, some of
which suggest the syntax found in the man page, and at least one of
which corrects this, I believe, incorrect syntax. So... to put it to
rest, should it be:

%^/cdrom.*/

...OR...

%^/cdrom.*

...I believe the latter is correct, but the man page/hobbit-clients.cfg
says:

A filesystem-name that begins with "%" is interpreted as a
Perl-compatible regular expression; e.g. "%^/oracle.*/" will match any
filesystem whose mountpoint begins with "/oracle".

I could see this being confusing for a newcomer (I was confused myself).
