Debian is perverse ;{

Uh... aren't we all?

Who? Me? You should have met a supervisor I had ~40 years ago.


man page suggested good things.
However when run as other than root, there is a column heading
"FSTYPE".
It is blank for all partitions.
They are present when run as root.

Perhaps it needs read access to the partition's content, which it
only gets as root? (Or as group disk, as the case may be).

Debian is trying to protect you from someone taking over your...
say Apache and exfiltrating your most carefully kept secrets on
your harddisk. Just imagine how embarrassing that will be when
Wikileaks publishes that all!

See my email hearder. Mr. Gates can handle some things ;/
