Hi,

another solution is to set the device permissions in
/etc/udev/udev.permissions (search for the line saying
"raw/raw*:root:disk:660" and change it to "raw/raw*:<oracle-user>:<dba or
oinstall>:660"). Using udev.permissions will make the changes persistent.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards

Put user oracle to disk group (disk:x:6:oracle). This works well and used
by package orarun.
