Description Flavio Leitner 2007-09-11 12:28:57 UTC

Description of problem:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Virtualization-en-US/virt-install-wizard.html

There we have:
"The default SELinux policy permits xen disk images to reside in the /var/lib/xen.
If you have SELinux enabled and want to specify a custom path for the virtual
disk then you need to change SELinux policies accordingly"

we should be more emphatic about SELinux policies allow ONLY /var/lib/xen.

revised note as follows:

<quote>
SELinux policy only allows xen disk images to reside in
<filename>/var/lib/xen</filename>.
</quote>

will update online documentation soon. 
please advise if any further revisions are required.

Comment 6 Don Domingo 2008-02-01 01:12:48 UTC

since this is a Virt-guide bug, reassigning to ccurran.

Chris, FYI for the book. you can close it after you've read it.
