Hello... On FC5 /dev/root is a block device, not a symlink to the real device #/dev/sda3 or other $ ls -l /dev/root brw------- 1 root root 8, 3 May 6 12:11 /dev/root It looks like the owner:perms are not the same as the devices as they should be. from /etc/makedev.d: 00macros:=STORAGE 640 root disk 01linux-2.6.x:b $STORAGE 4 0 1 1 root 01linux-2.6.x:b $STORAGE 8 0 1 16 sda $ ls -l /dev/root /dev/sda3 brw------- 1 root root 8, 3 May 6 12:11 /dev/root brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 3 May 6 19:11 /dev/sda3 Not having 640 root:disk on /dev/root breaks backups , specifically amanda. Is that by design? or an oversite?
May be an oversight... /dev/root is created by initrd IIRC. If there would be a sysfs entry, udev would have created it with:
$ fgrep root /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules ... KERNEL=="root", GROUP="disk", MODE="0640"
