DISK %\/i.* 98 99
DISK %\/j.* 98 99
DISK %\/g.* 99 100
Works and I did need a \ before the /

The trailing slash? The % indicates a PCRE regular expression. So you are
matching things that start with a forward slash, then have a letter, then
anything, then a trailing slash. Perhaps you don't want that? To match
/g05 you might say something like:
DISK %(^/g[0-9]+$) IGNORE
The ^ means "start of string"
The /g should match "/g" I don't think a forward slash has to be escaped
(can't remember). If so, then you have to put a backslash in front.
The [0-9]+ should match one or more digits
The $ should match the end of the string
Creating regular expressions is an art, and a source of good-natured geek
banter. The goal is to create something that will match what you want, but
won't match what you don't want. And getting too fancy can bite you.
If you just want to get a big hammer, try this:
DISK %/g0.* IGNORE

Ok
I think it is something with my wildcard.
When I added the "DISK /g05 IGNORE" line it did ignore /g05.
But I don't want to have to add every single filesystem. So what is wrong
with my wildcard?
DISK %^/i.*/ 100 100
DISK %^/j.*/ 100 100
DISK %^/g.*/ IGNORE
