Solaris master, 5.0 MP1.

I'm noticing mostly on Linux clients that using the common
combination of multiple streams and the directive ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES
creates streams for removable / auxilliary / pseudo / memory / kernel
file systems like:

/dev/pts
/proc
/proc/bus/*
/dev/shm
/media/*

Generally, I have these listed in exclude_list. No data is slurped
from them and written to tape.

Is there a way to prevent these streams from ever being created in
this scenario? It would be nice to not have the chaff.

Thanks,

There is no luck except where there is discipline.
