Could you upgrade machine to at least 5.1 or preferably 5.2 policy http://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/RHEL5 udev/lvm fixes might also have fixed. |
Description of problem: Having moved a drive from another machine, got two VolGroup00, so have to rename one of them; getting AVC denial at command line: vgrename qcnIiE-Q8L5-dxgy-xIof-hzfj-SpjE-RnHr4m VolGroup01 Renaming "/dev/VolGroup00" to "/dev/VolGroup00" failed: Permission denied Summary SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/lvm (lvm_t) "rename" to VolGroup00 (device_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/lvm. It is not expected that this access is required by /usr/sbin/lvm and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for VolGroup00, restorecon -v VolGroup00 If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.
