If you are referring to its use with SnapManager I can do nothing but

As for oracleasm making disk administration easier, it doesn't have to be
that way.
udev works fine - just create a directory /dev/oracle or somesuch, and when
new disks are added just create
a softlink to the /dev/oracle/some-meaningful-name for partitions meant for
oracle.
