Package: inn2
Version: 2.4.2-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

the fine advantages of the logical volume manager (LVM) apply to cnfs
buffers, too. Among them, compared to cnfs in file system, is that
there's no need for a dd to create the buffers.

However LVM does not keep track of the permissions of a logical volume
so they'll have to be restored upon each reboot.

Therefore I'd like to suggest:
* /etc/default/inn2 is a shell fragment that defines CNFS_DEVICES, e.g.
  | CNFS_DEVICES="/dev/vg0/cnfs*"
* /etc/init.d/inn sources that file upon start and chowns all devices
  defined by CNFS_DEVICES to news.

This could also used for cnfs in traditional block devices (e.g.
/dev/sda8) in order to assert the permissions.

(Hm, on a second thought: I've never used buffindex overview but that
 would benefit, too. Therefore, CNFS_DEVICES should have a more generic
 name like INN_BUFFERS.)

Thanks for your consideration.
