Summary: check_disk - option "--ignore-inaccessible" would be neat

Initial Comment:
The following Bugreport we got against our debian package:

[...]

| weasel at malo:~$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk 90 95
| DISK CRITICAL - /home/buildd/chroots/etch/proc is not accessible: Permission denied

I think this commit is to blame:

| 2007-07-10 20:18  psychotrahe
| 
|         * [r1754] NEWS, plugins/check_disk.c, plugins/t/check_disk.t:
|           Check_disk now calls stat() for all filesystems to check.
|           Check_disk prints an strerror() message if the call of stat()
|           fails.

[...]

weasel at simona:~$ sudo chmod o-rx /mnt/test
weasel at simona:~$ stat /mnt/test/mountpoint
stat: cannot stat `/mnt/test/mountpoint': Permission denied

[...]

so as discussed on IRC, adding an option "--ignore-inaccessible" would be neat.

You can track the bugreport via
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=516097

I would say, an option, which skips mount points with missing permissions would be a good idea.

With kind regards, Jan.
