Bug#379801: /dev/volumegroupname/ directory is created with 0700 permissions

[Bas Zoetekouw]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.06-2
Severity: normal

The volume group directories /dev/<volumegroupname>, which contain the
links to /dev/mapper/volumegroupname-*, is created with 0700
permissions, even tough the /dev/mapper/ dir has sane 0755
permissions.
These restrictive permissions are annoying, because it prevents tab
completion in (very common)  situations like "sudo lvsomething
/dev/vgFOO/<tab>".
Putting the mask in lvm.conf to 022 is of course not an option, as the
devices themselves should not be world-readable.
