Description Karel Volný 2012-08-23 11:49:25 UTC

Description of problem:
Trying to run mysql tests on RHEL4 I'm getting a problem that the access to /var/lib/mysql is blocked by SELinux.

It seems that it is caused by trying to backup and restore this directory using rlFileBackup - rlFileRestore

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
beakerlib-redhat-1-7.el4

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run some test that does rlFileBackup - rlFileRestore on /var/lib/mysql, e.g. /CoreOS/mysql/bz241688-drop-privilege-rename
2. ls -lZd /var/lib/mysql
  
Actual results:
drwxr-xr-x  mysql    mysql    root:object_r:var_lib_t

Expected results:
drwxr-xr-x  mysql    mysql    system_u:object_r:mysqld_db_t    /var/lib/mysql

Additional info:
... not to forget that subdirs are affected too

Uh. The rlFileBackup is a nightmare... :/

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 19:39:46 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 3 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2014-09-02 12:14:17 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 22:00:13 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 15:00:17 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

I have tried it with default context and also with manually changed context and it works for me.
Do you still see this issue?

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:25:17 UTC

Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

(just clearing needinfo; no longer interested in RHEL4)
