Description Adam Plumb 2009-11-02 15:07:15 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/qemu-kvm "write" access on sr0.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by qemu-kvm. It is not expected that this access
is required by qemu-kvm 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 Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2009-11-02 16:09:52 UTC
I think libvirt has labeled this device incorrectly.  If the image is r/w and shared it should be labled

svirt_image_t:s0

If it is not share it should be labled svirt_image_t:s0:c98.c190

If it is readonly it is labeled correctly.

Comment 2 Daniel Berrangé 2009-11-02 16:19:23 UTC
Can you provide the guest XML configuration for this guest.

ie, the 'virsh dumpxml GUESTNAME'  output, or the /etc/libvirt/qemu/$GUESTNAME.log file, and also the /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$GUESTNAME.log logfile

I suspect this may in fact be a QEMU bug, with it trying to write to a device it should be treating as readonly.

Guest XML file

Comment 4 Adam Plumb 2009-11-02 18:18:09 UTC
I've attached the guest.log file as requested.

FYI, this is on an updated Fedora 12 Rawhide machine.  The guest is CentOS 5 and I'm using a DVD to install, not an ISO that is on the computer.  My cdrom device is /dev/sr0.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 14:53:11 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

Seeing this on F12 Final x86_64 when attempting to create a F12 ppc guest.
