Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2014:1569 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE policycoreutils bug fix update 2014-10-14 01:27:36 UTC

Description rlopez 2013-08-28 15:45:48 UTC
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.
