           Summary: raw devices created at wrong destination
           Product: openSUSE 10.2
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: mbra@xxxxxx
         QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx


After upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2, raw devices will no longer work because of
creation at wrong destination:

The /etc/raw contains the following line (worked with suse10.1):
raw1:vg2/asm

For debugging , I deactivated /etc/init.d/raw (chkconfig ...) and tried to
setup it manually:

# ls /dev/raw
ls: cannot access /dev/raw: No such file or directory
# modprobe raw
# ls /dev/raw
rawctl
# /usr/sbin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/vg2/asm
/dev/raw/raw1:  bound to major 253, minor 11
# ls -l /dev/raw/raw1
ls: cannot access /dev/raw/raw1: No such file or directory

   ### ===> the /dev/raw/raw1 device was not created as the output says

# ls -l /dev/raw*
crw-rw---- 1 root root 162, 1 Jan  1 15:05 /dev/raw1

/dev/raw:
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 162, 0 Jan  1 15:04 rawctl

   ### ===> the device was created as /dev/raw1 instead of /dev/raw/raw1

# /usr/sbin/raw -qa
/dev/raw/raw1:  bound to major 253, minor 11


I have to manually create the device file at the right position, then Oracle is
able to start.
# mknod /dev/raw/raw1 c 162 1
# chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw1  #as usual, not specific to this bug
