I'm trying to use the patch Henrik so kindly provided earlier.
Hmm - it's not my lucky day for doing patches, sorry.
There's a clear cut'n'paste bug in the patch I sent out:
Line 39 of hobbitd/larrd/do_disk.c reads:
if (!inclpattern) errprintf("PCRE compile of NORRDDISKS ....
It was meant to test the *exclude* pattern there, so it should be
if (!exclpattern) errprintf("PCRE compile of NORRDDISKS ....
This means you'll get that error-message no matter what you put into
the NORRDDISKS variable.
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
I tested it with this one:
NORRDDISKS="^/oracle/[a-z,0-9]+/sapdata.*|^/oracle/[a-z,0-9]+/mirr.*|^/oracle/[a-z,0-9]+/orig.*|^/oracle/[a-z,0-9]+/data.*"
Feeding it some hand-crafted disk status messages it seems to work OK.
Note that hobbitserver.cfg is processed by a C program, not a shell
tool. So you shouldn't need to escape any of the special characters.
