> Quoting from HADOOP-3222 ("fsck should require superuser privilege"),
> bq. I agree that it makes sense to make fsck do permission checking for the
> nodes that it traverses. If a user does a fsck on files/directories that
> he/she has access to (using permissions) then that invocation of fsck should
> be allowed. Since "/" is usually owned by super-user, only super-user should
> be allowed to run fsck on "/".
