How to create raw datafile.

[May Galan]

Hi 
Can someone send a list on how to create raw datafile in Linux? 
We are currently creating a database (oracle 9r2) using raw datafile and we
have done so (last few steps was mknod and permission) but still encounter
this error. 

CREATE DATABASE "cmgzse"
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-00301: error in adding log file '/dev/oriole2vg00/rmgzse_log_01a' - file
cannot be created
ORA-27041: unable to open file
Linux Error: 19: No such device
Additional information: 1

We can list the files and permission is set already to oracle:dba
> ls -ltra rmgzse_log_01a
crw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 162, 14 May 12 11:29 rmgzse_log_01a

The mknod command we do:
> mknod /dev/oriole2vg00/rmgzse_log_01a c 162 8

Did we miss something??...Guess with the list we can drop and recreate our
existing one and try to create again
BTW, we are using Linux X86 RHEL2 32bit
Thanks a lot in advance...

Cheers
May.
