I know this isn't necessarily an amanda question, but I have a user who's setup two RedHat Enterprise 4 machines and used lvm. Unfortunately, the devices:

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

has permissions:


drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 100 Jun  6 03:58 /dev/mapper

brw-r-----  1 root disk 253,  0 Jun  6 03:58 VolGroup00-LogVol00


and so amanda can't read these devices for backup.


We tried manually setting the groups to disk but on reboot the permissions get reset. We tried editing /etc/lvm/lvm.conf with a umask of 002 and setting the group "disk" on the directory on /dev/mapper but that didn't stick on reboot. Any thoughts on a permanent solution on setting permissions on these dynamically generated devices?


Any information would be appreciated.


Oscar
