Description Peter Trenholme 2019-05-28 21:48:39 UTC
Description of problem:
Just installed F-30 on a mirrored drive
SELinux is preventing pmdalinux from 'read' accesses on the file mdadm.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that pmdalinux should be allowed read access on the mdadm file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'pmdalinux' --raw | audit2allow -M my-pmdalinux
# semodule -X 300 -i my-pmdalinux.pp

Comment 1 Lukas Vrabec 2019-05-29 07:48:30 UTC
Lukas, 

pcp_pmcd_t is trying execute/read mdadm binary, is this OK ? 

Thanks,
Lukas.

Comment 2 Lukas Berk 2019-05-29 11:27:27 UTC
Hey Lukas,

Yes, this is expected, we use the output from mdadm for some of our disk metrics;

% pminfo -fTt disk.md.status            

disk.md.status [per-multi-device "mdadm --test --detail <device>" return code]
Help:
per-multi-device "mdadm --test --detail <device>" return code
No value(s) available!

Thanks!
