check_disk executable bit needed even if running as root

[David.Rabel2 at debeka.de]

Hello,

i have a question regarding the behaviour of check_disk. It needs 
executable bit set on the parent directory of the filesystem that is 
checked. Normally I'd understand that, because you need the executable 
bit to read a folders content.

But if I run check_disk as root, it still seems to be the same. I don't 
understand that behaviour, since root user shouldn't need the executable 
bit to access a folderd content.

Do we allways need the executable bit? Why is this the case.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards
   David



Mit freundlichen Grüßen
