Description Guo Yunhe 2023-01-11 10:51:16 UTC 
SUMMARY

/var/lib/docker needs root permission to read the content. So Filelight cannot calculate the size.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install docker
2. Run: docker pull mysql
3. Run: filelight /var/lib

OBSERVED RESULT
Filelight will ignore the size of /var/lib/docker

EXPECTED RESULT
Filelight should show the size of /var/lib/docker

When meet folders/files require extra permission, Filelight can use PolicyKit to get root permission, and re-run the scanning.
