Re: {bb} bb-dftab column information

Apologies if this ends up appearing twice. I originally replied
over 12 hours ago and it hasn't turned up yet.

I'd take this to mean that your bb-dftab should actually
be more like this:

  my.host.name:/opt:91:95:disk
  my.host.name:/home:85:95:disk
  my.host.name:/app1:90:91:app1-disk
  my.host.name:/app2:90:91:app2-disk

Let me know if that does not work and I'll take a closer
look.

Cheers, Phil.
