Michel,

As a workaround, you just have to perform "chgrp root /dev/mapper/device" to set the correct ownership.

I noticed that in Karmic, /dev/mapper/* are all owned by root.admin, while in Lucid they must belong to the root group in order to be mounted by mountall.
However, I don't understand why it is necessary to set the group to root (same as the owner user), since permissions are set to 660 for those files.
