I keep getting this error message. What should I do?

[GhostLyrics]

Try removing the , after /var.

Here's what I get.

Please run which ruby and ruby -v and paste the output.

(btw, here's how to make nicely formatted code blocks 😄 )

[uojiaku]

[uojiaku@mylaptop plugins]$ sudo ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2013-06-27 patchlevel 374) [x86_64-linux]

So I tried this and got a good result:

[uojiaku@mylaptop plugins]$ /opt/sensu/embedded/bin/ruby /etc/sensu/plugins/check-fs-writable.rb -d /tmp CheckFSWritable OK: All filesystems are writable

But when I tried:

[uojiaku@mylaptop plugins]$ sudo /opt/sensu/embedded/bin/ruby /etc/sensu/plugins/check-fs-writable.rb -a CheckFSWritable WARNING: No mount points found

I know I have mount points listed.

[GhostLyrics]

well, what does your /etc/fstab say?

[majormoses]

If I had to take a guess it would be this: https://github.com/sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-filesystem-checks/blob/master/bin/check-fs-writable.rb#L71-L73

  def acquire_vol_groups
    `vgdisplay|grep 'VG Name'|awk '{print $3}'`
  end

When it shells back out it is no longer using its sudo privs. We could maybe enhance it with an option to sudo this.
