Subject: Does _need_to_be_root deserve to live?
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2016 22:57:46 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160211035746.GA16082@thunk.org> (raw)

There appear to be a number of tests that need to mount and unmount
scratch or su to $qa_user that don't call the helper _need_to_be_root.

Also, sicne the check script calls _check_filesystems between every
single test, which requires unmounting and remounting the test and/or
scratch file systems, does the _need_to_be_root check make any sense
at all?

And if doesn't make any sense, is it worth it to submitting a patch
that just removes all mention of _need_to_be_root from the tests and
common/rc?

Cheers,

						- Ted
