Bug ID: 412742
Summary: $pipe for mkfifo has no write permission
Product: Heaptrack
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: m...@milianw.de
Reporter: sam.saff...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Flags: Usability+
When attaching to an existing process as `root` the mkfifo permission for the
non `root` process being monitored can not be written to due to a permission
error.
The easy thing I do in production is add
`chmod a+w $pipe` just after the mkfifo, but this is messy.
Instead perhaps we can inspect the owner of the process we are attaching to and
maybe error out if we know we can not create that and add something like
heaptrack -p PID --insecure-pipe , to workaround?
