Subject: [PATCH 035/143] Ignore EPERM when modifying kern.geom.debugflags
78a3d7d
78a3d7d
Many tests fail when run as a non-root user on FreeBSD.  The failures
78a3d7d
all amount to an inability to open files using grub_util_fd_open,
78a3d7d
because we cannot set the kern.geom.debugflags sysctl.  This sysctl is
78a3d7d
indeed important to allow us to do such things as installing GRUB to the
78a3d7d
MBR, but if we need to do that and can't then we will get an error
78a3d7d
later.  Enforcing it here is unnecessary and prevents otherwise
78a3d7d
perfectly reasonable operations.

+	* grub-core/osdep/freebsd/hostdisk.c (grub_util_fd_open): Ignore
78a3d7d

78a3d7d

78a3d7d
+	an error later anyway, not for opening files during tests.
