Description Lawrence Graves 2010-09-28 14:08:32 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /bin/umount "unlink" access on mtab.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by umount. It is not expected that this access
is required by umount 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2010-09-28 14:27:38 UTC
restorecon /etc/mtab

Will fix.  Any idea how this got mislabeled.

I will the ability for mount to remove this type of file in next release.

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.9.5-8.fc14
