Might that be persistant across reboot? Under /etc, where I'd expect nearly anything related to devices and booting, the only referenced I find to /dev/root are under /etc/selinux. Do you have secure linux enabled and might there be some setting for that system that is recreating /dev/root? -- Jon H.

I've done a chgrp disk and chmod g+r on /dev/root but that only helps until the next reboot. The other partitions are fine. Client is 2.4.5 and server is 2.4.4p1 Client OS is CentOS 4.2 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - HMC UNIX Systems Manager My opinions are my own and probably don't represent anything anyway.
