Maybe I'm dreaming but I thought DIX showed the whole of the disc, just ran it and found I couldn't see the usage of other users. Tried "sudo open" to no avail.

Am I dreaming, or has something broken? I'm on 10.4.8 with the latest security update.

TIA

Disk Inventory X can't read files and folders for which it hasn't the right do so (e.g. permissions deny to read a directory). It has the same privileges as the user has who launched DIX.

Please try to use Pseudo to run DIX as root.

What was confusing was that "sudo open Disk..." didn't work. However I now find "sudo /Applications/Disk Inventory X.app/Contents/MacOS/Disk Inventory X" does.

Maybe I was dreaming and always had to sudo if I wanted to see everything, but I never remember having to break open the package.

It would be nice if DIX asked for authentication of course.

Thanks.
