[hobbit] Question about Disk RULE

[Richard Leon]

That was it Greg,

 

Thanks !

 

        DISK %\/i.* 98 99

        DISK %\/j.* 98 99

        DISK %\/g.* 99 100

 

Works and I did need a \ before the /

 

Richard

The trailing slash?  The % indicates a PCRE regular expression.  So you are
matching things that start with a forward slash, then have a letter, then
anything, then a trailing slash.  Perhaps you don't want that?  To match
/g05 you might say something like:

 

DISK %(^/g[0-9]+$) IGNORE

 

The ^ means "start of string"

The /g should match "/g"  I don't think a forward slash has to be escaped
(can't remember).  If so, then you have to put a backslash in front.

The [0-9]+ should match one or more digits

The $ should match the end of the string

 

Creating regular expressions is an art, and a source of good-natured geek
banter.  The goal is to create something that will match what you want, but
won't match what you don't want.  And getting too fancy can bite you.

 

If you just want to get a big hammer, try this:

 

DISK %/g0.* IGNORE 

 

GLH

Ok

I think it is something with my wildcard. 

 

When I added the "DISK /g05 IGNORE" line it did ignore /g05.

But I don't want to have to add every single filesystem.  So  what is wrong
with my wildcard?

 

        DISK %^/i.*/ 100 100

        DISK %^/j.*/ 100 100

        DISK %^/g.*/ IGNORE
