ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------

While attempting to setup udev rules for ASM disks, the following  "link" errors are seen.  The same setup is working on other systems.

Command used to test setup:

udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger --action=add

"symlink '../../sdc' '/dev/oracleasm/disks/DATA.tmp-b8:32' failed: Operation not permitted"

 

UDEV rules file :  /etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle-asmdevices.rules
