How to Change Owner and Group of Device-mapper Mutipath Device?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

If you wants to install Oracle 11g R2 in RHEL5 with raw device through multipath.
By defaut, the owner of multipath device is root, and the group is disk.

# ll /dev/mapper/mpath0 
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 2 Jan 21 14:33 /dev/mapper/mpath0

But the installation of Oracle 11g R2 needs the owner and group of multipath device are both oracle.

So change owner and group of multipath device is necessary.
