From 506c9e44a85f6a79fc0643f2d2498ab6cda3d3f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 10:17:26 +1100 Subject: md: allow non-privileged uses to GET_*_INFO about raid arrays. The info is already available in /proc/mdstat and /sys/block in an accessible form so there is no point in putting a road-block in the ioctl for information gathering.
