[Bug 867806] Re: df -h permission denied error

 

This still happens to me as soon as an User is logged in. It has a nasty
side effect in munin, which tries to get harddisk usage using df. df's
return value in that case is not 0, so the result is not being
processed. While it's possible to fix that in munin, its nevertheless a
bit strange that df return's that error and therfore return 1 as error
value.

$ df -h
....
df: „/var/lib/lightdm/.gvfs“: Permission denied
$ echo $?
1
