Partition permissions not persistant

[reinstalled]

HI,

Running RH EL5 and changing the permissions and owner of partitions (both raw and cooked) using simple chown and chmod
This works fine but does not persist across a reboot.
This a non-system/boot hard drive we are setting up to hold a Sybase ASE db.

What are we doing wrong or is there a better way to accomplish what we are trying to do?

Thanks,

Also, this disk is handled by LVM

One clunky option would be to add the relevant chown and chmod commands to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, or a separate boot-time script if you prefer.

Are they just /dev/sdxxn type devices, or managed by device-mapper?

Thanks for the reply,

They are manage by LVM.
path is /dev/mapper/VolGroup00

In reading I found the "udev" facility. Am I to use this
to set the permissions on the partitions?

I understand I can do this in several ways. I guess I'm more interested in what the right, or recommended way is.

Trying to set up an ASE db and the sybase user must own the partition(s) it will use.

I think the answer provided here is a fairly tidy solution:

But I'm reduced to Googling now, I've not tried any of these things; perhaps someone else can offer better advice.

Thanks,

That's a good find.
We went with a start up entry in rc.local.
Red Hat support came back with using either udev or the rc entry.

Thanks for the help!
