Force10: FTOS 9 keeps triggering alerts due to flash mod time changing

[joschi99]

We use rancid 3.4.1. On every runcid-run whe have a update on our Force10 S4820T switches, because:

• flash: timestamp is still changing every runcid-run
• fan speed: has no sense and is changing very often

Is there any solution about this?

Thanks in advance

The pattern in question that's supposed to prevent this is at line 340 of f10rancid:

/ \.{1,2}$/ && next;

For some reason the end of line match is causing issues. I ended up with the following pattern instead:

/\+\d{2}:\d{2} \.{1,2}/ && next;
