From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: I have a RHEL 4 kernel 2.6.9-6.37.EL. I am installing Oracle which requires that devices be assigned oracle:dba ownership. Following a reboot devices assigned to oracle:dba are reset to root:disk ownership. I have seen this in 2 scenarios: when assigning native sd devices or bound raw devices. this forces me to edit my oracle service script to chown on startup. Is this expected behavior? Thanks, Shawn Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. chown oracle:dba /dev/sdt 2. reboot 3. ls -l /dev/sdt (results in root:disk) ownership Expected Results: Device ownership assignments should survive reboots Additional info:

I think these would be set 'permanently' via udev. Did our support resolve this for you? thanks.
Yes changing the ownership in the *.permissions file under /etc/udev worked. Thanks.
