Related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1465729 Related PR: https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy-contrib/pull/19 This issue was not selected to be included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 because it is seen either as low or moderate impact to a small number of use-cases. The next release will be in Maintenance Support 1 Phase, which means that qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. We will now close this issue, but if you believe that it qualifies for the Maintenance Support 1 Phase, please re-open; otherwise, we recommend moving the request to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 if applicable. This is a fairly basic failure of selinux policy on an entirely unrelated system, i.e. the storage subsystem. Is Red Hat's official position that lvm thin provisioned snapshots by snapper are not supported ? The underlying issues have already been fixed upstream. If the linked PR is the only fix required, it looks like a small fix. This is major breakage for a critical system (i.e., data backups) which further trains people to disable selinux. I would like to propose reopening this. This issue was not selected to be included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 because it is seen either as low or moderate impact to a small number of use-cases.
