Description Mike Walker 2014-11-28 18:19:35 UTC
Description of problem:
I have encrytion on and I believe thats what caused it. My Dropbox starts up before I login to the drive causing Dropbox to freak out and say that it can't find the drive. I don't believe its a bug, I believe its an unhandled event.
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/mdadm from 'getattr' accesses on the file .

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

If you believe that mdadm should be allowed getattr access on the  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
