You are right Xi.  I missed that cp command.  I now get 3 failures:
TestSystemAPIs::test_disk_usage (already documented)
TestFetchAllProcesses::test_all
TestNetAPIs::test_net_if_addrs

3 failed, 524 passed, 171 skipped, 2 warnings in 6.82s

I'll just document those last two failures.  I agree that the tests are annoying, but 
I don't think it's unreasonable to leave them in the book.
