I'm trying to use the patch Henrik so kindly provided earlier.

Hmm - it's not my lucky day for doing patches, sorry.

There's a clear cut'n'paste bug in the patch I sent out: Line 39 of hobbitd/larrd/do_disk.c reads:

 if (!inclpattern) errprintf("PCRE compile of NORRDDISKS ....

It was meant to test the *exclude* pattern there, so it should be

 if (!exclpattern) errprintf("PCRE compile of NORRDDISKS ....

This means you'll get that error-message no matter what you put into the NORRDDISKS variable.

And what I really want to suppress (shell syntax) is: /oracle/*/sapdata* /oracle/*/data? /oracle/*/mirr* /oracle/*/orig*

Here's the generic I tried: PCRE compile of NORRDDISKS='^/oracle/.../sapdata.*|^/oracle/.../mirr.*|^/oracle/.../orig .*|^/oracle/.../data.*' failed

I tested it with this one:

NORRDDISKS="^/oracle/[a-z,0-9]+/sapdata.*|^/oracle/[a-z,0-9]+/mirr.*|^/o racle/[a-z,0-9]+/orig.*|^/oracle/[a-z,0-9]+/data.*"

Feeding it some hand-crafted disk status messages it seems to work OK.

Note that hobbitserver.cfg is processed by a C program, not a shell tool. So you shouldn't need to escape any of the special characters.
