Last modified: 2014-10-14 04:04:30 EDT
Description of problem: I'm currently trying to set the SELinux local fcontext Equivalence of my directory /u01 to be the same as /usr. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): policycoreutils-python-2.0.83-19.30.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% of the time Steps to Reproduce: 1. semanage fcontext -a -e /usr /u01/ 2.restorecon -R -v /u01/ Actual results: Produces type default_t Expected results: type usr_t Additional info: If one were to remove the trailing / in the original step 1 as follows: semanage fcontext -a -e /usr/ /u01, followed by a restorecon -R -v /u01/ it would provide the correct labeling.
