I Hope this is a simple question.
What is the best practice to mount RAW drives on RHEL 5. I have found a couple of approaches but i’m not sure what the correct one is as i have found references to some being depreciated.
As an aside, i would also need to know how to assign ownership rights as they shouldn’t be owned by root if its included in the mounting process.
Answer
Using sysconfig/rawdevices is considered deprecated in RHEL5, use the udev method.
As for ownership, use the following in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules:
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="raw*", OWNER=="root", GROUP=="disk", MODE=="0660"
