RE: [hobbit] Question about Disk RULE

["Hubbard, Greg L" <greg.hubbard (at) eds.com>]

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

	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
