Setting group on LVM using udev

[wiz561]

Hi!

I'm trying to set the permissions on a LVM volume so that a user (virtualbox) can use it. I've looked this up and it says to use udev rules. I have this...


# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-logger.rules
ENV{DM_NAME}="vm1-logger", OWNER="vbox", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE:="660"
#

However, when I reboot the machine, EVERYTHING in /dev belongs to vbox:vboxusers and now just the lvm volume name 'logger'. Can anybody give any insight on what's going on here?

Thanks!

Strange. I did a few things and ended up with this in the udev rules...


$ cat 92-local-vbox-permissions.rules
ENV{DM_VG_NAME}=="vm1" ENV{DM_LV_NAME}=="logger" OWNER="vbox"
$

This seemed to do the trick. Don't know why, I guess I just had the wrong format...
