[gentoo-dev] RFC: iotop needs to run as root after kernel change

2012-04-03 Thread justin
Hi, after this change https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1a51410abe7d0ee4b1d112780f46df87d3621043 iotop cannot be used as user anymore. Any suggestions how to proceed? The solution I see are 1. Leave it to root (Fedora and Suses way) 2. suid it (bad in my view) 3. file capabilities (can
