Below is an example of comparing btrfs dev usa as root and non-root.  When
run as non-root it is wrong in every way, there is not a single correct
value.  I've done this on my laptop (single device) and on a server with 3
devices and the results were similarly wrong.

Instead of providing information that is wrong and misleading it should
just give an error and say that it needs root permissions.
