I thought about the escapes -- but PCRE doesn't seem to like this any
better: PCRE compile of
NORRDDISKS='^\/oracle\/.+?\/(sapdata|data|orig|mirr)' failed (and the
original needs to have a double \\ in each spot, to escape the escape,
for the shell export).
Thanks
Tom

I'm trying to use the patch Henrik so kindly provided earlier.
And what I really want to suppress (shell syntax) is:
/oracle/*/sapdata*
/oracle/*/data?
/oracle/*/mirr*
/oracle/*/orig*
Here's the generic I tried:
PCRE compile of NORRDDISKS='^/oracle/.../sapdata.*|
^/oracle/.../mirr.*|
^/oracle/.../orig.*| ^/oracle/.../data.*' failed
Got to escape the slashes...
NORRDISKs="^\/oracle\/.+?\/(sapdata|mirr|data|orig)'
Which reads:
begins with /oracle/, followed by as few letters as possible before
another slash, then a string starting with sapdata, mirr, data, or orig
