Hi,
I am seeing a failure of the qemu-iotest number 232 when running the
test as a root user. Is this the expected behavior?
Here is the output of the failure:
-QEMU_PROG: -drive
driver=file,file=TEST_DIR/t.IMGFMT,if=none,read-only=off,auto-read-only=off:
Could not open 'TEST_DIR/t.IMGFMT': Permission denied
-NODE_NAME: TEST_DIR/t.IMGFMT (file, read-only)
-NODE_NAME: TEST_DIR/t.IMGFMT (file, read-only)

-QEMU_PROG: -drive
driver=file,file=TEST_DIR/t.IMGFMT,if=none,auto-read-only=off: Could not
open 'TEST_DIR/t.IMGFMT': Permission denied
-NODE_NAME: TEST_DIR/t.IMGFMT (file, read-only)
-NODE_NAME: TEST_DIR/t.IMGFMT (file, read-only)
+NODE_NAME: TEST_DIR/t.IMGFMT (file)
Not entirely unexpected (since root can read what are otherwise
read-only files), but obviously unexpected by the test. The test should
probably refuse to run as root.
