Does anyone have experience creating a database that uses a raw partition on Linux? The Administrator's Reference is extremely vague in this regard. I've tried the following:

Used fdisk to create my partitions (type=Linux Native?).
Modified my create database script to point to device node names (e.g. datafile '/dev/sdb1').
chown oracle /dev/sdb1
chgrp dba /dev/sdb1
Run create script.

The script fails ORA-27038: skgfrcre: file exists
