From ba3903d416524e0fb002eca971ce6026e5f2c3af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 07:42:23 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] allow --monitor to be run by non-privileged use. Providing --no-sharing is given, monitoring should be permitted. Unfortunately the kernel current rejects GET_DISK_INFO and GET_ARRAY_INFO for non-privileged users which is unjustified. The info is available in sysfs and we could get it from there, but for now, require the kernel to be fixed.
