Thanks Tom,

I did as you suggested and now the permissions on /dev/raw/raw1 change to oracle:oinstall when I restart rawdevices but I still get this error when I add in raw1 to ASM :

[root at bounty sysconfig]$ /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL14 /dev/raw/raw1
Marking disk "/dev/raw/raw1" as an ASM disk: asmtool: Unable to open device "/dev/raw/raw1": Block device required [FAILED] 
 
[root at bounty sysconfig]$ ll /dev/raw
total 0
crw-r-----  1 oracle oinstall 162, 1 May  8 13:30 raw1

[root at bounty sysconfig]$ grep raw1 /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions
raw/raw1:oracle:oinstall:0640

[root at bounty sysconfig]$ service rawdevices status
/dev/raw/raw1:  bound to major 8, minor 240

Cheers,
Nick .
