SuSE's 'orarun' package automatically creates all 255 raw disks... so
I'll spare you the listing of all of them... here's the important
info:
crw-rw---- 1 oracle disk 162, 1 Apr 30 12:51 raw1
crw-rw---- 1 oracle disk 162, 2 Apr 30 12:51 raw2
crw-rw---- 1 oracle disk 162, 3 Apr 30 12:51 raw3
crw-rw---- 1 oracle disk 162, 4 Apr 30 12:51 raw4


.....

if I do an "id oracle" -- this is what I get...

uid=59(oracle) gid=54(oinstall) groups=54(oinstall),6(disk),55(dba)


I am performing the installation as the user 'oracle' so that should
work.

SuSE defaults the /dev/raw device permissions to root:disk -- which
should work because 'oracle' is a member of the 'disk' group.
