Subject: btrfs-progs: btrfs dev usa as non-root is wrong and should just abort
Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2024 21:52:14 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2159193.PIDvDuAF1L@cupcakke> (raw)
Below is the difference between running btrfs dev usa as root and non-root on
a laptop with kernel 6.8.12-amd64. When run as non-root it gets everything
wrong and in my tests I have never been able to see it give nay accurate data
as non-root. I think it should just abort with an error in that situation,
there's no point in giving a wrong answer.
