Is that not the case? No, the reservation is always reported, regardless of which user ID is executing the statfs(2) system call. This has always been true, going all the way back to BSD 4.3. I could see the argument for doing this differently, but I could also see that being very surprising for people to see different results depending on whether they are running df from a setuid shell or not. I'm not aware of any Unix system which has implemented the root-only reservation system which has done this. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
