Description Nate Straz 2019-09-17 15:58:45 UTC
Description of problem:

During gfs2 growfs testing, lvm refreshes storage changes across the cluster with dlm_controld.  In that process dlm_controld calls uuid_generate() from libuuid, which reads /dev/random and fails with the following AVC error

This does not cause a failure to refresh the logical volumes, nor causes gfs2_growfs to fail.  It will leave messages in the audit log which customers might raise concerns about.
