Yeah, it's not that straightforward. I did fiddle with udev rules, and got it to the point that it works when manually re-triggering /dev/dm-*, but not on reboot. It has to have to do with the way initramfs-tools (which is a Debian thing) includes rules in the initrd image. I could probably get it to work if I spent more time on it, but even with what I already tried, it's way to complicated for a requirement as basic as access permissions.

Well, I'm suggesting you make some. That's what wishlist bugs are for, I believe. It doesn't have to be done this exact way, of course, and I don't insist on an upstream solution. A Debian-way that is convenient and reliable would be fine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
