Hi,

The command df on AIX (I think 5.2 and higher) includes /proc.  And it's
useless to monitor this virtual file system.   So I changed my df command
to:

# The sed stuff is to make sure lines are not split into two.
df -Ik | grep -v "^/proc" | sed -e '/^[^        ][^     ]*$/{
N
s/[     ]*\n[   ]*/ /
}'

This is a bug in the hobbitclient-aix.sh script.
Hi

it should be even better to use this command :

df -Ik | grep "^/dev" | [...]
That also fixes the problem with nfs mounted file systems.
On the other hand, I'm not a fan of filtering like this.  I'm more a fan of 
"monitoring eveything and exclude what you don't want to monitor".
