Description Matěj Cepl 2013-09-24 06:59:26 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/mdadm from 'ioctl' accesses on the blk_file /dev/dm-3.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that mdadm should be allowed ioctl access on the dm-3 blk_file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep mdadm /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

/dev/dm-3 has an incorrect label. It should be labeled fixed_disk_device_t.

> /dev/dm-3 has an incorrect label. It should be labeled fixed_disk_device_t.

and whoe fault it is? I am quite certain I have never changed knowingly its label and even restorecon agrees:

matej@wycliff: ~$ sudo -i
[sudo] password for matej:

restorecon:  Warning no default label for /dev/mqueue

Comment 4 Milos Malik 2013-09-27 07:41:27 UTC
svirt_image_t is a customizable type. restorecon does not change it unless you run it with -F parameter. I don't know why is /dev/dm-3 labeled svirt_image_t. Is the device used as a disk for some virtual machine?

Comment 6 Miroslav Grepl 2013-10-03 20:57:28 UTC
#============= mdadm_t ==============

#!!!! This avc is allowed in the current policy
allow mdadm_t svirt_image_t:blk_file ioctl;
