[one-users] Monitoring vmware datastores

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi Ondra,

Unfortunately, the setuid for df works only for ESX 5.1. I recommend
updating as far as possible. If not, logging as root is the only
solution we've found so far to get monitoring to work on ESX 5.0
datastores, but it is not ideal for production environments.

Hope it helps,

-Tino
