Section Number and Name: Procedure 5.9 Creating bricks

Describe the issue: When bricks are created from UI, the file context is set to file 'system_u:object_r:file_t:s0' . context of the newly created bricks has to be changed to 'system_u:object_r:glusterd_brick_t:s0' otherwise selinux will prevent user to create special files in the mount point.

Suggestions for improvement: Add the below as important "Once the bricks are created from UI and before using them to create a volume perform the following on all the nodes in the cluster."

# semanage fcontext -a -t glusterd_brick_t '/rhgs/brick1(/.*)?'
# restorecon -Rv /rhgs/brick1
 
Replace /rhgs/brick1 with your actual brick path
