Ok so now that my mea culpa is out of the way, I'm actually wondering why non-root users can't do certain btrfs tasks when they're read-only commands. [chris@f22m ~]$ btrfs fi show ERROR: could not open /dev/sda7 ##this is new it wasn't doing this last night btrfs-progs v4.0 [chris@f22m ~]$ btrfs fi df / Data, single: total=4.00GiB, used=3.57GiB System, single: total=4.00MiB, used=16.00KiB Metadata, single: total=1.01GiB, used=198.30MiB GlobalReserve, single: total=80.00MiB, used=0.00B [chris@f22m ~]$ btrfs fi usage / WARNING: can't read detailed chunk info, RAID5/6 numbers will be incorrect, run as root WARNING: can't get filesystem info from ioctl(FS_INFO), run as root ERROR: couldn't get space info on '/' - Operation not permitted I think usage is more useful than df for users, and contains largely the same information as df + show, so I think all three should be non-root user usable. --- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
