Hi,
I guess subject says it all - why is FIBMAP ioctl restricted only to
root (CAP_SYS_RAWIO)? Corresponding ioctl for XFS is allowed without any
special capabilities so we are inconsistent here too...
Would anyone mind if the check is removed?
It would be great if it was but it involves a *lot* of work.
