IDS 10.0 on RHEL 4: We create our database disk areas on logical volumes, then create soft links to these LVs. For example: # ls -l /opt/informix/dbspaces1/rootdbs_1lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Sep 1 2006 /opt/informix/dbspaces1/rootdbs_1 -> /dev/vginformixdb/1_rootdbs_1 This all works fine until we reboot. Not only do we have to reset the permissions on each LV back to informix:informix 660 (which the database demands), we have to set the permissions on the group itself, ie /dev/vginformixdb, to 777. This is easy enough to script, but is there an easier way or are we missing something? thanks Neil
