Hello,

I've got a Dell Optiplex 745 running RHEL5 server, which backs up nightly to our amanda server (a RHEL3 machine running amanda 2.4.4p1). Presently the amanda check barks about the permissions on /dev/root:

ERROR: host: [could not access /dev/root (/): Permission denied]

Which is initially set to:

brw------- 1 root root 8, 2 Jun 13 10:08 /dev/root

We work around this by changing the group to 'disk' and setting "g+r", but of course, these changes don't persist across reboots. So I took a look at the rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules, which lists:

# all block devices
SUBSYSTEM=="block",             GROUP="disk", MODE="0640"
KERNEL=="root",                 GROUP="disk", MODE="0640"

If understand it correctly, this should be setting the proper permissions on /dev/root, but that's not happening.

Has anyone else seen this, or have any suggestions?

Cheers,
k-
