problem with ownership

[Tonatiuh]

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4

I have created a raw device and configured to start automatically the "rawdevices" service at startup (chkconfig rawdevices on).

Default ownership of this raw devices is "root:disk". I changed this ownership as follows:

# chown root:oinstall /dev/raw/raw1

After I reboot the machine, the ownership of the raw devices is "reseted" to "root:disk".

If I change again manually the ownsership it is reseted again every after reboot.

I need that the ownership of the raw device be permanently as "root:oinstall".

Any idea?

It seems to be exactly my case Ivan. I am configuring an Oracle RAC. I will tray it and tell you what it happend.

We had the same problem. To resolve this put this in /etc/rc.local:

chown oracle:oinstall /dev/raw/raw1
chown oracle:oinstall /dev/raw/raw2
chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw1
chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw2
