[hobbit] Ignore NFS

[Pierre Malenfant]

Hello,

I have tried different recommendations from the mailing list and I played 
around with different ways of ignoring some mount types.

There is two problems I always had:
- NFS/CIFS/SMB mounts hang/delay the "df" command if remote host does not 
respond
- Special devices should be ignored (CD/DVD/etc)

Now, I'm using the following method and as of now, it look like it work 
very well for me (mostly AIX or Linux environments)

*** If somebody has other ideas or think this could be done in a simpler 
ways, I would be glad to hear your comments.  ***

My actual "method" if to catch only some vfs types from the "mount" 
command and pass the filesystem list to "df"

In the file  /home/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-aix.sh

################################################################################
# Change to remove NFS and CIFS filesystems
#df -Ik | sed -e '/^[^  ][^     ]*$/{
df -Ik `mount | awk '$3~/jfs/ {printf $2 " "}'` | sed -e '/^[^  ][^ ]*$/{
################################################################################

[hobbit] Ignore NFS






I searched the archive and found a few posts about monitoring nfs mounts.
But how can I ignore nfs mounts from showing up?
 
Weekly ignite backups mount a filesystem and unmount it. 
I would like to ignore this filesystem on the clients but have it 
monitored on the server. 
 
How can I go about this?
 
And also how can I delete the extra chart that it created today.
 
For now I just set the default higher so it would not page out.
 
Thanks
Richard
