<P><FONT SIZE=2>How is a mount of a CD-ROM/DVD drive handled? You may want to exclude those entries too - unless you have don't care about those pesky 100% always full reports on /dev/cdrom mounted to whatever...</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>> As Henrik probably noticed, AIX is nice enough to *not* include the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>option</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> for specifying file system types in it's df command. Well... it does in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> the sysv version but that won't let you get the results in kb :-) So if</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> get a full disk on the NFS server, all the NFS clients let me know about</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>it</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> too!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I've had a look at how BB resolves this issue. They grep the df output for</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>lines that begin with /dev.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>This will work fine for me as all my LV's (logical volumes), whether</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>locally attached SCSI disks or fibre attached FAStT SAN disks, follow this</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>convention... which is kind of obvious seeing as i never noticed any</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>problems with the BB client! ;-)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Can anyone else confirm that all AIX systems will follow this</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>convention? I'm relatively new to AIX and only run 5.2 and 5.3. I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>therefore feel I'm not qualified to categorically state that all local</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>filesystems will be created on logical volumes. Does AIX actually enfore</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the use of LVM?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>At this point, I've made the following change to my copies of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>hobbitclient-aix.sh</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>df -Ik | sed ...</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> *becomes*</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>df -Ik | grep '^/dev' | sed...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Would anyone have objections to getting the source updated to match by</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Henrik?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> Would it be possible to use a DEFAULT regex to exclude any lines with a :</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> in them? Something like...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> DISK %*:.* 101 102</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> Although my perl regex experience is a bit light... so any clarification</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> would be appreciated!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>This would obviously become a bit redundant :-)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> Also - can you have multiple DISK lines undet the DEFAULT tag? The man</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> page doesn't say much either way, although I've got it working fine on</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>one</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> host entry for the PROC status</FONT>
