even if permission checking is disabled, it will not work, because vgactl does not exist in /dev, because '#v' has not been bound there, so your >/dev/vgactl is attempting to create it, which fails (because `mounted directory forbids creation', which means it was mounted or bound without -c or MCREATE), which probably means you need bind -a '#v' /dev first, or you can use >'#v/vgactl'
