Hello Jacob,

The only way to have Orca select particular disks to collect data on is to
edit orcallator.cfg and modify the regular expressions for the "data"s to
select the disks you want to select or to reject the ones you don't want to
plot.

You'll want to use a complicated regular expression of the form that "find_file"
uses, but it may be more complicated if you want to remove disks from
consideration.

Read the perlre manual page on how to make the regular expressions work.

I don't know why the data is not there.  Several questions:

1) Did you upgrade SE?  3.2.1 is now available.
2) I think orcallator.se requires root access on Solaris 8 to read some of the
   data you are looking for.

Best,
Blair
