I asked the same question. From upstream: "You don't need root permissions to read from udev, but you need root permissions to parse filesystem/PT on the device by libblkid. udev has also more information collected from more sources, see for example lsblk.c where non-udev part does not provide WWN and serial number. It's also better if all system use information from one place (udev), so libblkid is fallback solution here (in findmnt, lsblk)." -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
