Description Miroslav Grepl 2015-04-14 17:54:24 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1211010 +++

Description of problem:
was trying to create a rawhide workstation livecd
SELinux is preventing restorecon from 'associate' accesses on the filesystem debug.

*****  Plugin filesystem_associate (99.5 confidence) suggests   **************

If you believe restorecon should be allowed to create debug files
Then you need to use a different command. You are not allowed to preserve the SELinux context on the target file system.
Do
use a command like "cp -p" to preserve all permissions except SELinux context.

*****  Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that restorecon should be allowed associate access on the debug filesystem 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 restorecon /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

yum install livecd-tools wget

wget https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/8354/9468354/fedora-live-workstation-1564226.ks

mkdir cacheDir tmpDir

livecd-creator --config=fedora-live-workstation-1564226.ks --cache=cacheDir --tmpdir=tmpDir --verbose


Note: you should also see warnings like "/sbin/setfiles: tmpDir/something is not located in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts"

    Allow debugfs associate to a sysfs filesystem.

There is broken 

"setfiles -r"

functionality.

I don't understand. Is this the problem with LiveCD-Tools using "setfiles" instead of using "setfiles -r"?

No, there's a bug in setfiles code. The following patch fixes it:

Yes, this bug has two parts - policy bug + setfiles bug.

Petr,
thanks for the patch. It works for me as expected.
