Erm, how do you exempt disks from being detected in the client? Its
detected the network mount (a backup drive) as a disk and is logging it!
I don't think I need that level of redundancy in detection. *smirk*

Hack the client-script "df" command.

Perhaps I should add an "ignore" setting to the DISK setup in
hobbit-clients.cfg.

An ignore setting would be good for ignoring CD/DVD/USB/etc. mounts as well.


Thanks,

There's a patch for this now at
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbitsw/betapatches/ignoredisk.patch

This lets you put a 

    DISK %^/mnt IGNORE

in the hobbit-clients.cfg, and it will completely ignore all filesystems
beginning with "/mnt".

Henrik

Is there a show only pattern?

For example, on my HPs I only  want to see filesysterm that begin with /dev.

The snapshots are tarfiles created daily from my current source-tree.
So the patches are in there - but there might be other things as well,
which can break stuff (like unfinished patches).

Right now, it is reasonably safe to use the snapshots for testing,
since I am only doing beta-release bugfixes right now.

Henrik,

The patch works fine, but generated the following in clientdata.log :-

2006-06-08 14:05:20 Unknown token 'IGNORE' ignored at line 351
2006-06-08 14:05:20 Unknown token 'IGNORE' ignored at line 352

Thanks, I noticed that myself today. The messages are harmless,
but I will of course remove them from the final version.

Hi Henrik,

I have placed this line in my client and server (two different machines)
after upgrading, and it's still generating alerts for this. Am I doing
something wrong?

I figured it out now, 

I had to put that line above the DISK * 90 95 line.
