I think both my and schwertner's posts gave valuable guidance for raw devices in Redhat 5. I would not suggest to delete this, as they are both tested approaches. Would prefer split and keep the question here, it is valuable.<br />
<br />
I suspect the asker did not use the udev rules approach (/etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.<wbr />rules) to configure the devices, but perhaps tried the old raw utilities. As such, after reboot, the changes are not persistent.<br />

a3,

I used the /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.r<wbr />ules and got it working quickly.<br />
<br />
It was also Very good to know the current way of doing it.<br />
<br />
From now on I will be respond faster with accepting solutions, thank you.

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
