Tim's method worked...although I took it a step further, and changed both brackets to [0-9] (i.e. [0-9][0-9]) in order to cover future filesystem additions in that vein.
I also took the suggestion of 101 101 instead of IGNORE. If my boss decides he doesn't want to see them in the list or the graphs for them, I'll change it to IGNORE, but for now, I think I like the idea of having them displayed.
Thanks, all...very much appreciated.

DISK * 95 98I don't think that would work, you would need something like:
HOST=edmprod
DISK %^/(da[0-1][0-9]|da2[0-7]) IGNORE
DISK * 95 98I'm not sure about the IGNORE or the 101 102 methods...
Also....
The hostname of the system is "edmprod" and the filesystems are/da01 thru /da27.
The stanza I've tried to use is:
DISK %^\/da* IGNOREI think this would need to be: DISK %^\/da.* IGNORE
Otherwise, you are matching 0 or more of the letter a, while you really want 1 or more of any character (well, really digit) DISK %^\/da[0-9]+ IGNORE
PS, all the above is untested, and just based on normal regular expressions, plus any possible typo etc...
