ASM instance is similar to database instance and every user with sysasm (in 11.2) or sysdba (in 11.1 and 10g) can change any parameter in ASM instance or disk/group configuration. You will need root account to change physical disk permissions. regards, -- Marcin Przepiorowski http://oracleprof.blogspot.com -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
