RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Luwen Su 2013-11-06 05:17:53 UTC 
Description of problem:
Fail to start lxc with disabled selinux due to the existed empaty /selinux

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-429.el6.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.7.19-231.el6.noarch


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
#getenforce
Enforcing
There is a dir /selinux , generated by the system 

2.Disabled selinux
# cat /etc/selinux/config | grep disabled
#     disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled

#reboot

3.After that , the selinux DOESN't remove the dir /selinux but clean all content in it.
#ll -a /selinux/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root 4096 Oct 12 11:28 .
dr-xr-xr-x. 25 root root 4096 Oct 12 13:52 ..

4.This lead to lxc fail to start:
#virsh -c lxc:/// start toy

error: Failed to start domain toy
error: internal error guest failed to start: PATH=/bin:/sbin TERM=linux container=lxc-libvirt container_uuid=bb428983-cb9f-4702-0f8d-7d4e143d9aad LIBVIRT_LXC_UUID=bb428983-cb9f-4702-0f8d-7d4e143d9aad LIBVIRT_LXC_NAME=toy /bin/sh
error receiving signal from container: Input/output error


5.
If remove the dir , everthing will be fine.
And on rhel7 , there is no /selinux , so it has not effect.


Expected results:
Lxc started

Thank you very much, that confirms my hypothesis.

This bug was not selected to be addressed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. We will look at it again within the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 product.
Comment 12 Shanzhi Yu 2014-11-20 10:08:02 UTC 
In RHEL7 this can't be reproduced. So, I would change this to verified status
