i have red the top part of the hobbit-clients.cfg file 4 times now and i can't figure out what i am doing wrong.

i am trying to make it so that /cdrom does not cause a red alert

I have tried the following:
DISK %^/cdrom.*/ warnlevel=101 paniclevel=102
DISK /cdrom 101 102

any ideas?

thanks,
Adam

missed the start of this thread but in the hobbitclient.cfg file in the disk section there should be a line satying DFEXCLUDE="cdrom" or something similar

I'm not running the hobbit client on anything YET but I have looked at it and remembered it was identical to bb for the disk stuff

Hope this helps if its right and sorry if I'm wrong :)

NO. It isn't. Forget all about DFEXCLUDE, DFCMD etc. - they are
not used by the Hobbit client.

I'm afraid you are.

Are you running the original 4.1.1 release ? That doesn't parse
the hobbit-clients.cfg file correctly. Grab the latest snapshot
from http://www.hswn.dk/beta/ and I'll bet it starts working
for you.

I was already running the latest snapshot, and I did finally solve my
problem...

I had 2 things wrong, the first one was that the line was on the bottom
and not the top.  Once I moved the DISK statement to the top of the list
then it started to take effect after I corrected the second problem.

My second problem was that for some reason it did not like warnlevel=
and paniclevel=  once I took those out it worked like a charm.  

The other little bit of confusion I had was that /cdrom would also
include all its sub directories (since the server I was working with has
2 cdroms, we have /cdrom/disk1 and /cdrom/disk2)

I stand corrected on that bit but I was sure I was right, and based on the version I had I was. I went and had a look at the client dir from 4.1.1 and theres a hobbitclient.cfg dir with all the old BB sytle things in there

Either im going totally insane or I have an older version of the client files stuck in there

Can you please let me know as we are going to look at changing over to the hobbit client soon and I can honestly say I havent even looked at it yet

That *is* a possibility :-) You'd be surprised how often I have to
check the man-pages for some feature I wrote 3 months ago.
