From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4 Description of problem: SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/lvm. It is not expected that this access is required by /usr/sbin/lvm and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.Allowing AccessSometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for .cache, restorecon -v .cache If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report against this package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-2.4.6-30.el5 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.System --> Administration --> Logical Volume Management 2. 3. Actual Results: selinux troubleshooter displays alert Expected Results: Additional info:
This is running CentOS 5 kernel, CentOS release 5 (Final) 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5
restorecon -R -v /etc/lvm should fix the problem. You can get the update u1 policy from http://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/RHEL5 I believe a permanant fix for this is coming from LVM.
