Why won't a symbolic link be created in /dev/oracleasm/disk?

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • Attempting to create a symbolic link in under /dev/oracleasm/disk.
  • Have tried manually adding the symbolic links.
  • Have tried creating symbolic links via udev rules.

  • Attempts have resulted in messages in /var/log/messages

    udevd-event[1000]: udev_node_symlink: symlink(../../sdc1, /dev/oracleasm/disks/SYMLINKNAME_DATA01) failed: Operation not permitted
    udevd-event[1001]: udev_node_symlink: symlink(../../sdd1, /dev/oracleasm/disks/SYMLINKNAME_DATA02) failed: Operation not permitted
    udevd-event[1002]: udev_node_symlink: symlink(../../sde1, /dev/oracleasm/disks/SYMLINKNAME_DATA02) failed: Operation not permitted
