[linux-lvm] RHEL: special ownership for lv devices?

[Carlos Eduardo Tavares Terra]

Klaus,
Have you tried to use the package oracleasm?

This package installs some binaries to manipulate ASM Disks, creating new
devices (based on the originals /dev/sd*), into /dev/oracleasm/ and changing
the owner of the devices.

Oracle Database does not use raw devices in RHEL anymore, by default. They
recommend installing this package and administrate everything by it.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
