Description David Carlson 2005-02-28 21:48:21 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0

Description of problem:
The permissions on the default volume groups are 600 root:root, and should really IMHO) mirror sd* permissions: 660 root:disk.  Specifically, this makes amanda-client die and causes amanda-based backups not to run.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
udev-039-10.8.EL4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a RHEL 4 host with LVM (the default)
2. Set up a backup set including a RHEL 4 host (make sure a hole is in the fw)
3. Run amcheck


Actual Results:  Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: <somewhere>.math.umn.edu: [could not access /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 (root): Permission denied]
Client check: 3 hosts checked in 0.024 seconds, 1 problem found

Expected Results:  Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 3 hosts checked in 0.024 seconds, 0 problems found

Additional info:

I don't know if it's udev that sets the permission (lvm might?), but it's been the culprit for other things, so I might as well.
Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2005-03-01 11:11:52 UTC 
$ udevinfo -q all -n /dev/mapper/Vol1-lvol0
device not found in database

lvm devices do not seem to be created by udev.
Comment 2 Alasdair Kergon 2005-03-01 15:10:18 UTC 
Indeed, doesn't use udev.
Already addressed in 1.00.20 which should be included in U1.
