Matthias,
Good spot. I have it on the bug list (tracked in my head) that if you
do a -p /device, it is not found properly. I think the fix is a new
loop first to check if a device name matches before doing the "best
match" loop.
Do you want to have a go at fixing this bug? I won't be able to for a
few weeks.
BTW, I've just found a problem with the mysql configure routines
which will fail on some mysql installations. Your check_disk
enhancements, with Holger's perms fix for the root plugins and the
mysql configure change probably warrants a new release. Let me know
if you are going to work on the check_disk -p device problem and we
can hold off for your fix.
