Description Martin Birgmeier 2016-06-11 09:20:11 UTC
Scenario:
- 7 SATA disks ada{0..6}
- md0 on /tmp
- heavy disk activity on ada6;
  in another scenario, heavy disk activity on all disks
- running "systat -vm 1"
- typing ":ignore md0"

Result:
- Before typing ":ignore md0": systat displays drives md0 and ada0..ada5
- After typing ":ignore md0": systat once displays drives ada0..ada6 and then displays only drive md0

Expected result:
- Before typing ":ignore md0": systat displays drives md0 and ada0..ada5
- After typing ":ignore md0": systat displays drives ada0..ada6

Notes:
- The "ignore" feature seems to be very fragile in many situations. The scenario described is just one where it misbehaves and ultimately displays completely different disks.
- The feature seems to be sensitive to dynamic changes in the disk configuration. Adding or removing devices typically garbles the selection.
