[rancid] Getting a lot of noise related to ce_switch.log and ce_switch.log.bak

[Dan Mahoney (Gushi)]

Hey all,

I'm running Rancid built from freebsd packages, rancid3-3.7

Periodically, my ASR9K's log something like this:

!Flash: harddisk: 24753 -rwx 800470016 Wed Sep 10 20:00:00 2014
VM-ASR9K-px-4.3.4.tar
- !Flash: harddisk: 24623 -rw-
ce_switch.log
+ !Flash: harddisk: 24781 -rw- 8192017 Mon Sep 10 05:10:03 2018
ce_switch.log.bak
!Flash: harddisk: 24688 -rw- 1048576 Thu Sep 11 02:08:46 2014

ce_switch.log.bak
+ !Flash: harddisk: 24628 -rw-
ce_switch.log
!Flash: harddisk: 6442434560 bytes total (4 GB free)

I thought I saw something on the mailing lists that this was fixed in a
prior version, but I guess not. How would I go about tweaking rancid so
these bits are ignored?

Thanks,

-Dan

add a filter to DirSlotN(). i see that your device is renaming files,
causing the fileno to change. I'll add that filter for 3.9.
