Title: blkid shouldn't need root privileges Status in e2fsprogs package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: e2fsprogs When I execute blkid without root privileges I get an empty result. Only when i add a sudo to the command i get an output: $ blkid $ sudo blkid /dev/mapper/stein-root: UUID="505a1f5d-8a14-40c7-b873-009b722d3782" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/mapper/stein-swap_1: TYPE="swap" UUID="0cf47458-4a05-4b8a-aedf-238d7d047b18" /dev/sda5: UUID="cdb51a1e-b277-43e3-8130-eb7b992efda2" TYPE="crypt_LUKS" /dev/sda1: UUID="2d6fdebf-54bc-4987-a46e-7b3352737b14" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/mapper/sda5_crypt: UUID="nmmiO3-4W3N-zaP1-DQdP-hlQT-yooV-KGSjOg" TYPE="lvm2pv" This is quite strange since blkid reads /etc/blkid.tab and reformats the file. /etc/blkid.tab is readable for all users: $ ls -al /etc/blkid.tab -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 663 2008-04-21 17:13 /etc/blkid.tab $ cat /etc/blkid.tab <device DEVNO="0xfe01" TIME="1208790785" UUID="505a1f5d-8a14-40c7-b873-009b722d3782" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/mapper/stein-root</device> <device DEVNO="0xfe02" TIME="1208790785" TYPE="swap" UUID="0cf47458-4a05-4b8a-aedf-238d7d047b18">/dev/mapper/stein-swap_1</device> <device DEVNO="0x0805" TIME="1208790785" UUID="cdb51a1e-b277-43e3-8130-eb7b992efda2" TYPE="crypt_LUKS">/dev/sda5</device> <device DEVNO="0x0801" TIME="1208790785" UUID="2d6fdebf-54bc-4987-a46e-7b3352737b14" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3">/dev/sda1</device> <device DEVNO="0xfe00" TIME="1208790785" UUID="nmmiO3-4W3N-zaP1-DQdP-hlQT-yooV-KGSjOg" TYPE="lvm2pv">/dev/mapper/sda5_crypt</device> I can reproduce the problem on several installations with Ubuntu Hardy and inside a clean VM with Ubuntu Hardy RC1 booted from the Live-CD.
