Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2006-11-10 19:00:03 UTC
I have fixed the policy in selinux-policy-2.4.3-10

But lvm/multipathd should create the /var/lib/multipath in the rpm spec file and
not create it on the fly to make management of the SELinux constols better. 
Also all package directories  should be owned by the package so they get cleaned
up correctly on delete.

Comment 2 Ben Marzinski 2006-12-01 00:50:32 UTC
multipath now creates /var/lib/multipath in the rpm spec file
