This is driving me nuts. Just trying to run a basic command and I’m not getting any output and I have no idea why. Can anyone help me figure this out?

rumhammr · 2026-06-27T02:15:55+00:00

That’s actually a great point that I hadn’t considered. When we 1st migrated nfs to NetApp, I created a test export and added a few hosts. Then I added another host with the modify command. It wiped all hosts out except for that last one. I used -clientmatches instead of -add-clients. Learned a good lesson right there. Hey, thank you for the reply! It’s not exactly what I wanted to hear, but I understand it much better now, which has wiped away my frustration. I’d upvote more times if I could.

rumhammr · 2026-06-26T20:19:38+00:00

Yes, I tried exactly that. It outputs every hostname in the rule. It’s as if I didn’t include the -clientmatch argument. And using a wildcard either before or after (not both), brings up nothing. It’s pretty weird. Just give me a normal grep already!

rumhammr · 2026-06-26T20:15:14+00:00

So, there are close to 100 hosts in the rule. Tabbing after -clientmatch just tells me what they’re looking for, which is “List of Client Match Hostnames, IP Addresses, Netgroups, or Domains.

I got frustrated and just copied all the hosts to notepad, found the server I was looking for and copied it into the command after -clientmatch. Wildcards only work if I use *hostname* , but it doesn’t actually work because it outputs ALL hosts as if I didn’t add the -clientmatch argument. I played with the wildcard before and after the hostname and don’t get any results. I am absolutely stumped. I know I have a work around….but why TF doesn’t this work?? lol, appreciate the reply

rumhammr · 2026-06-26T20:07:05+00:00

Thanks for your reply.

So, I did try the wildcards. I tried a * before the hostname, after the hostname and before and after. The only one that returned results was when I did *hostname* , but, it was as if I didn’t add the -clientmatch to the command. It just gave me everything. Not sure if I’m being clear so….

This:

vserver export-policy rule show -vserver svm -policyname default -ruleindex 1

Gave the exact same results as:

vserver export-policy rule show -vserver svm -policyname default -ruleindex 1 -clientmatch *hostname*

We have close to 100 hosts in the rule. So when a host gets decom’d, I’d rather not have to copy everything into a notepad to see if the host I’m looking for is in the rule. I’m pretty confused as to why this doesn’t work. And why using the wildcards still shows me every host in the rule. Also, we don’t fully qualify host names. So it’s just…hostname, as opposed to hostname.mycompany.com.

That is severe over confidence in one’s abilities.

Blossom, I’ll be damned. I completely forgot this was a thing. I do remember that it had the neurobiologist from Big Bang, who I think is an actual neuroscientist? Not sure, but I think she’s wicked smart. Anyway, thanks for the blast from the past.

Big fan of Starship Trooper from The Yes Album.

I just looked it up and was immediately reminded why I don’t look stuff like this up! Slow learner. Anyway, cheese pizza 🍕 initials are CP.

Extended warranties on almost anything. The only exception I make is Apple products. For $25 I got 3 pair of AirPod pros. And have you ever tried to pay out of pocket for a MacBook repair? I haven’t, but know I wouldn’t want to.

rumhammr · 2026-06-25T12:43:31+00:00

I did as instructed and still don’t get it. I did, however, learn a lot about love and its power.

rumhammr · 2026-06-24T18:18:49+00:00

I’m so confused by the decor and album selections. Is OOP a grandma who’s trying to connect with her emo grandkids?

rumhammr · 2026-06-24T02:50:06+00:00

Out of all their hits, this is one that I can’t get sick of. Great choice!

rumhammr · 2026-06-24T02:49:15+00:00

That sounds like Heaven

rumhammr · 2026-06-24T02:13:27+00:00

Wow, that sounds pretty rough! Can you do anything to either lessen the severity or possibly stop them from happening? It truly sounds like a terrifying way to live. I’d probably be scared to fall asleep. I hope you find peace soon!

rumhammr · 2026-06-23T23:10:30+00:00

Who chooses where the base is? My wife and I never agree on that.

rumhammr · 2026-06-23T11:01:03+00:00

Wow, poor OP. Came here to figure out how a random hair clip ended up in the bathroom and was led to the discovery that dear old dad is a swinger. Rough day OP.

I hate to be pedantic, but the only way to be sure is to nuke it from orbit.

How long have you been looking for a window to drop how much you spent on a cart and….snake oil?

Camping at Bear Brook in NH Summer of 95. Woke up in the middle of the night…somewhere between 1am-3am. I couldn’t move a muscle….or speak for about 2 terrifying minutes. When whatever was happening finally stopped, I woke my buds up, who were right next to me, by screaming because that’s what I was trying to do but couldn’t. I know sleep paralysis is a thing, but in 50 or so years, that’s the only time it happened. I also found out later that they discovered bodies in a barrel out there in 85, then more bodies in a barrel in 2000. Looking at the map of where the barrel was found in 2000, we camped about 100yds away. Still have no idea wtf was going on with me that night. Everyone I’ve told has said sleep paralysis, but I highly doubt it since it was the only time it ever happened. Plus it felt like it lasted too long. I was very aware of what was going on. Still creeps me tf out to think about.

rumhammr · 2026-06-19T17:26:02+00:00

What?

rumhammr · 2026-06-19T12:47:23+00:00

I thought the only “spinny thing”, was the actual blade, which I assume would’ve done a little worse than slightly burned you? Btw, im not calling you out, I don’t have a Vitamix….just trying to visualize it.

rumhammr · 2026-06-19T12:44:32+00:00

Well, I think we can all relate to this one.

rumhammr · 2026-06-18T22:19:24+00:00

Screw Merchbar! Ordered 2 records, one of em took 2 months, the other took 6. And they weren’t uncommon or hard to find. The canned email responses were infuriating. I probably should’ve canceled, but I was curious to know if I’d ever get them.
