Summary: SELinux prevented mount from mounting on the file or directory "/dev/sdb" (type "fixed_disk_device_t"). Detailed Description: SELinux prevented mount from mounting a filesystem on the file or directory "/dev/sdb" of type "fixed_disk_device_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 "fixed_disk_device_t" does not have this attribute. You can change the label of the file or directory. Allowing Access: Changing the file_context to mnt_t will allow mount to mount the file system: "chcon -t mnt_t '/dev/sdb'." You must also change the default file context files on the system in order to preserve them even on a full relabel. "semanage fcontext -a -t mnt_t '/dev/sdb'" Fix Command: chcon -t mnt_t '/dev/sdb' Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:fixed_disk_device_t:s0 Target Objects /dev/sdb [ blk_file ] Source mount Source Path /bin/mount Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages util-linux-ng-2.16.2-5.fc12 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.32-63.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name mounton Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Mon Dec 21 06:24:20 UTC 2009 i686 athlon Alert Count 2 First Seen Fri 08 Jan 2010 12:40:49 PM CET Last Seen Fri 08 Jan 2010 12:40:49 PM CET Local ID a7bc596c-f109-476d-b4bb-edfee023e541 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1262950849.141:20): avc: denied { mounton } for pid=1668 comm="mount" path="/dev/sdb" dev=tmpfs ino=3502 scontext=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:fixed_disk_device_t:s0 tclass=blk_file node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1262950849.141:20): arch=40000003 syscall=21 success=no exit=-13 a0=b95a98 a1=b95ab8 a2=b95ac8 a3=c0ed0001 items=0 ppid=1656 pid=1668 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="mount" exe="/bin/mount" subj=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0 key=(null) Hash String generated from selinux-policy-3.6.32-63.fc12,mounton,mount,mount_t,fixed_disk_device_t,blk_file,mounton audit2allow suggests: audit2allow is not installed.
This says you are attempting to mount a device on a blk_file /dev/sdb? I think you have a bug in a script? DO you know what is causing this?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days
