I get the same error if I change /dev/raw/raw1 to oracle:oinstall after restarting rawdevices then run oracleasm createdisk.
Also tried chmodding /dev/raw to 777 (to test) and we still get the same error.
Interesting.... in that case, try this:
==
service rawdevices stop
#remove the partition from /dev/sdp (should be done by the next step
#anyway).
#Change the /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices entry to be /dev/sdp (no "1"
#partition indicator).
service rawdevices start
chown oracle:oinstall /dev/raw/raw1
/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL14 /dev/raw/raw1
==
ie change the raw device to use the whole disk rather than the partition
(I realise you said this didn't work when using a block device, but I'd
still recommend this)
