usergroup cdrom #82

Closed suedi closed 8 years ago

suedi commented 9 years ago

I get a warning in vdevd.log:

/bin/chown: invalid group: 'root:cdrom'

I am on Arch derivative and there seems to be no usergroup cdrom in spec.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:UID_/_GID_Database

There is however usergroup optical with gid 93 that probably is the same as cdrom, right?

I seek guidance on how to handle this issue.

Could the name of the usergroup be made a variable in optical.act? If so it would be trivial to adapt to different systems.

As it is now I have to edit in optical.sh

Hi @suedi,

It's possible to pass custom environment variables to vdev actions via a .act file. I just updated all the helpers to take a device's owner, group, and mode from the .act file (via environment variables), which should remove the need for you to modify the helper program directly. See 98642d445a5439c4f7ff21b7a9f084333020a909
