You didn't mention which version of Sybase ASE you are using. The following page has links to documentation for the most recent versions.

I did this on Solaris 2.8 back in year 2001 but I forgot most of it. I remember that the sybase user was not privileged at all and that we ran the sybase startup under the sybase user account. The DBA set up the raw data partitions and her user account was not privileged at all either.

dear

thank you for your reply
sorry for not mention the ASE version. but for Red Hat 5.1 it is recommended to use at least 15.0.2.
Just one note the partition in Linux is different from Solaris.
so I am still waiting you my friends to send me the solution
