Package: munin-node
Version: 2.0.44-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The 'df' plugin no longer reports on the size of the /home partition. This
seems to be due to the "ProtectHome=true" setting in the munin-node.service for
systemd. I think this behaviour started with the upgrade in testing from
version 2.0.37-2 to 2.0.42-5.

The effect can be observed by looking at the different output of 'munin-run df
config' on one hand (which reports on /home, provided you have a separate /home
partition :-) ), and on the other hand using telnet or nc to connect to the
running munin-node instance and to ask for the config there:
'echo -e "config df\nquit\n" | nc localhost 4949' (which does not report /home).

After changing the "ProtectHome" setting in munin-node.service to "read-only"
(and restarting etc.) munin-node again reports on /home.

I understand the reason for the ProtectHome=true setting for munin-node in
general, but unfortunately this makes it impossible to monitor /home.
