Hi all,

I'm pulling my hair out on what should be a straight forward regex but
it's not working.
I have a ton of database partitions that the client group doesn't care
about so I'm trying to
create an entry in the hobbit-clients.cfg with the disk values greater
than 100.
Here's my entry:
DISK	"%^/tidw.*" 102 102

With the disk mount points being something like:
/tidwiwdev_db_data01
/tidwiwdev_db_data02
/tidwiwdev_db_data03
/tidwiwdev_db_data04
/tidwiwdev_db_data05
... etc.
/tidwiwapp_db_app01
/tidwiwapp_db_app02
/tidwiwapp_db_app03
/tidwiwapp_db_app04
/tidwiwapp_db_app05
... etc.

What am I not doing correctly??

Thanks

Hi Jason and all,

Well it turns out the regex will work with or without the quotes.
The problem was actually in my host definition
HOST=smokey, bear

And after going through the documentation yet again, it appears that
one cannot have a white space between the comma and the next host.
HOST=smokey,bear

Once I did that, all was a beautiful shade of green.
Thanks again for the response
