Unfortunately, no-one thought SNM could do it, so I send a mail to
our own (CVSI) support department, they forwarded the call to Sun and....

I got THE answer. It IS possible!! Sun came through!.

The agent na.diskinfo supports the following options:
nonfs
nocdrom
nofloppy

I can NOT find them anywhere in the docs, but they work!!

So you change the "send predefined --> event request --> When Disk is Full":
and add the options

nonfs:nocdrom:nofloppy (you must specify the : in case of several options)
to the "Options:" field

et voila, No more nfs, no more cdrom and no more floppy !!!
