NFS mount points don't appear in disk monitoring

hobbit 4.2.0 running on RHEL 4, one monitored box is Sun sparc box(Solaris 9) 
with hobbit client installed.

local disks look like correct, but NFS mount points don't appear in disk monitoring:

only local disks are displayed in disk monitoring:

I even added following section before "DEFAULT" section in hobbit-clients.cfg file, but no effect.

HOST=sun01
        DISK /          90 95
        DISK  /oralog   90 95
        DISK   %^/ora.*  90 95


Thanks very much.

For me, this is a feature.

You can change this if you open the hobbitclient-linux.sh on the client.  Find 
the df section and change the df command untill it sends all the file system 
information you need.

This is by design - checking NFS filesystems can cause the Hobbit
client to stall indefinitely if the nfs system becomes unresponsive.

I'd recommend checking nfs filesystems from the server they are
exported from. It's also a lot more effective, since you will only
get 1 alarm when it starts to fill up, instead of all 200 hosts 
that have it mounted triggering disk alerts.
