Description Randy Barlow 2016-05-26 20:38:48 UTC
Description of problem:
On a fresh F24 installation I am unable to start mongod with SELinux in enforcing mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mongodb-server-3.2.6-2.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ sudo dnf install -y mongodb-server
2. $ sudo systemctl start mongod

Actual results:
$ sudo systemctl start mongod
Job for mongod.service failed because a fatal signal was delivered to the control process. See "systemctl status mongod.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Expected results:
Mongod should start

Additional info:
