Why not just take out ALL the DOMAIN lines from your DSM.OPT and let it default to ALL-LOCAL. Which will get you all local drives (now and in the future!) plus the systemstate,systemservices. If there's a specific drive you DON'T want as part of your domain, it's easier to list what you don't want (and let it remain dynamic for whey you add/remove drives) thatn to list what you want and always have to make changes.
DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL -E: To do everything but the E: drive. If you're specifying drive letters to INCLUDE, you lose the dynamic ability of the ALL-LOCAL.
