Description of problem: Often times when I unmount my digital camera by right clicking on the volume icon on the nautilus desktop I will get a SELinux error that reads as the text below. Summary: SELinux prevented umount from mounting on the file or directory "/media/.hal-mtab-lock" (type "mnt_t"). Detailed Description: SELinux prevented umount from mounting a filesystem on the file or directory "/media/.hal-mtab-lock" of type "mnt_t". By default SELinux limits the mounting of filesystems to only some files or directories (those with types that have the mountpoint attribute). The type "mnt_t" does not have this attribute. You can either relabel the file or directory or set the boolean "allow_mount_anyfile" to true to allow mounting on any file or directory. Allowing Access: Changing the "allow_mount_anyfile" boolean to true will allow this access: "setsebool -P allow_mount_anyfile=1." Fix Command: setsebool -P allow_mount_anyfile=1 Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:mount_t Target Context system_u:object_r:mnt_t Target Objects /media/.hal-mtab-lock [ file ] Source umount Source Path /bin/umount Port <Unknown> Host thedude.lebowski Source RPM Packages util-linux-ng-2.13.1-6.fc9 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.3.1-55.fc9 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name allow_mount_anyfile Host Name thedude.lebowski Platform Linux thedude.lebowski 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 13 05:38:53 EDT 2008 i686 i686 Alert Count 5 First Seen Sun 01 Jun 2008 01:13:45 PM EDT Last Seen Tue 03 Jun 2008 09:18:32 PM EDT Local ID 76bf61a2-04c7-4e9b-b7dd-f6aee13edb9a Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages host=thedude.lebowski type=AVC msg=audit(1212542312.532:37): avc: denied { read write } for pid=5587 comm="umount" path="/media/.hal-mtab-lock" dev=dm-0 ino=688652 scontext=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0 tclass=file host=thedude.lebowski type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1212542312.532:37): arch=40000003 syscall=11 success=yes exit=0 a0=804b14d a1=bff5ecc0 a2=bff5f23c a3=804b14d items=0 ppid=5586 pid=5587 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="umount" exe="/bin/umount" subj=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0 key=(null)
