Make your rule

root@mysql:~# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-lvm-mysql-permissions.rules
# udevadm info --query=all --name /dev/dm-0
# DM_VG_NAME=vg-data
# DM_LV_NAME=lv-rawdisk-innodb01
ENV{DM_VG_NAME}=="vg-data" ENV{DM_LV_NAME}=="lv-rawdisk-innodb*" OWNER="mysql"

Test your rule

root@mysql:~# ls -al /dev/vg-data/lv-rawdisk-innodb01
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 12 14:45 /dev/vg-data/lv-rawdisk-innodb01 -> ../dm-0

root@mysql:~# udevadm test /class/block/dm-0
...
read rules file: /etc/udev/rules.d/99-lvm-mysql-permissions.rules
specified user 'mysql' unknown
...

OK user mysql unknown... maybe I should install MySQL ;-).

After that:

root@mysql:~# id -a mysql
uid=108(mysql) gid=114(mysql) groups=114(mysql)

root@mysql:~# udevadm test /class/block/dm-0 2>&1 | grep OWNER
OWNER 108 /etc/udev/rules.d/99-lvm-mysql-permissions.rules:4
