Description of problem: Probably related to mounting external hard drive. But I've no idea what caused it really. SELinux is preventing mkdir from 'write' accesses on the directory /root. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that mkdir should be allowed write access on the root directory 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: # ausearch -c 'mkdir' --raw | audit2allow -M my-mkdir # semodule -X 300 -i my-mkdir.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:fsdaemon_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 Target Objects /root [ dir ] Source mkdir Source Path mkdir Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages filesystem-3.3-3.fc27.x86_64 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-283.17.fc27.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.14.5-300.fc27.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 11 16:00:36 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2017-12-20 19:23:50 EET Last Seen 2017-12-20 19:23:50 EET Local ID 2326181e-9e8c-4081-b387-fea8243b1bdf Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1513790630.854:780): avc: denied { write } for pid=11542 comm="mkdir" name="root" dev="dm-1" ino=100663393 scontext=system_u:system_r:fsdaemon_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0 Hash: mkdir,fsdaemon_t,admin_home_t,dir,write Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-283.17.fc27.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.9.3 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.14.8-300.fc27.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 1400562
