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

/me also wonders why nobody is working on it.

| 
| 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-
