Oracle8.1.7 on Solaris8

I am trying to create a tablespace on a raw device and the SQL*Plus session that performs the tablespace creation is waiting on a 'file identify'. A quick search on metalink and other docs did not indicate the root cause of the wait event.
I have used the raw device previously and the create tablespace uses the 'REUSE' option.

Okay gurus...any clues as to exactly what conditions cause the event?
