From my experience, the '*' can optionally replace the instance_name in
the construct:
object_name:instance_name:counter_name.
It cannot be used to replace the object_name or counter_name (although not supplying a counter_name is equivalent to an asterisk).
Anyway, the point of this email isn't so much to explain the contents of the man page, but to see how long it takes before I get this email back. The last email I sent took a few hours. I am sending this out at 1:39pm PST Aug 24, 2011.

Greetings,
I haven't been able to post for quite a while so I'm quite happy
things
look good (assuming my post goes through). I thought I'd try breaking up the discussions about the domain name and test emails with a NetApp question :-)
I was reading comments about reallocate with regards to a blog and someone posted this command to run:
"stats show disk:*:disk_busy"
I don't recall ever seeing anything about special constructs or functionality using the colon delimited fields. If this is available I'm guessing there might be other cool tricks available also.
Does anyone know where there is documentation on how to use this?
While I see that you are a UNIX administrator, you may not be aware that NetApp filers have nearly-full documentation in man pages. The part of the "stats" man page that is directly relevant to your question is probably the information under the heading "An object definition (object_def) is one of the following".
Hope this helps; thanks.
