Description Bastien Nocera 2005-06-24 09:35:25 UTC 
The same problem occurs on RHEL4.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #141050 +++

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:
Logical volumes are create as root.root with 600 permissions.
It would be nice if they had similar permissions as regular disks.

Owner: root
Group: disk
Permissions: 660

That way out of the box amanda would not complain that it does not
have permissions to backup / for instance.
