On a Linux system, when changing the ownership of a symbolic link using chown, by default it changes the target of the symbolic link (ie, whatever the symbolic link is pointing to).
Make a mount point directory in the root of your server, and give it the ownership you require:
su - cd / mkdir -p /u09/fra/PRODDB01 chown -R oracle:dba u09 cd /u09/fra/PRODDB01/
Create a symlink that points to your desired destination:
ln -s /data1/onlinelog/TESTDB01 onlinelog ls -altr total 8 drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle dba 4096 Apr 14 10:05 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Apr 14 10:13 onlinelog -> /data1/onlinelog/TESTDB01 drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle dba 4096 Apr 14 10:13 .
Note that the symbolic link is owned by root, not user oracle, as I intended. The normal way of chaning ownership did not work:
chown oracle:dba onlinelog
However, add the -h option:
chown -h oracle:dba onlinelogAnd you will have your ownership of the symlink changed:
ls -la total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle dba 4096 Apr 14 10:14 . drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle dba 4096 Apr 14 10:05 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 19 Apr 14 10:14 onlinelog -> /data1/onlinelog/TESTDB01
