SELinux is preventing /sbin/iscsid from 'create' accesses on the directory iscsi. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that iscsid should be allowed create access on the iscsi directory by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep iscsid /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:iscsid_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:var_lock_t:s0 Target Objects iscsi [ dir ] Source iscsid Source Path /sbin/iscsid Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-9.fc15 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-10.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 30 16:55:57 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen Wed 06 Apr 2011 09:54:42 PM CEST Last Seen Wed 06 Apr 2011 09:54:42 PM CEST Local ID f71d47fc-4aac-4c4c-aa5d-6cfb3e62f9d2 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1302119682.331:168): avc: denied { create } for pid=11685 comm="iscsid" name="iscsi" scontext=system_u:system_r:iscsid_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_lock_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1302119682.331:168): arch=x86_64 syscall=mkdir success=no exit=EACCES a0=448ee3 a1=1b0 a2=2 a3=0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=11685 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=iscsid exe=/sbin/iscsid subj=system_u:system_r:iscsid_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: iscsid,iscsid_t,var_lock_t,dir,create audit2allow #============= iscsid_t ============== allow iscsid_t var_lock_t:dir create; audit2allow -R #============= iscsid_t ============== allow iscsid_t var_lock_t:dir create;
So during installation, I set up my /home on an iscsi device. After the installation, /home was never mounted (and systemd is actually stuck with activating RAID/LVM/etc during bootup so I had to remove /home from fstab). Now I checked the config and everything seems fine so I did a service iscsid restart and oops, setroubleshootd shows the above message. Due to this SELinux denial I see the following behaviour in my syslog: Apr 6 21:54:43 zalem iscsid: transport class version 2.0-870. iscsid version 2.0-872 Apr 6 21:54:43 zalem iscsid: iSCSI daemon with pid=11685 started! Apr 6 21:54:43 zalem iscsid: Could not open /var/lock/iscsi. Exiting Apr 6 21:54:43 zalem iscsid: Could not read discovery record for 192.168.0.11:3260. So it seems that SELinux indeed breaks this use case: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_ISCSI_No_Authentication Particularly, this expected result can't be verified: "4. The installed system boots with all filesystems on the iSCSI device mounted." Therefore I propose this a beta blocker.
/var/lock/iscsi should be labeled iscsid_lock_t. Since it is no longer created by the rpm, I need to add policy to create it Fixed in selinux-policy-3.9.16-13.fc15
iscsi is Final stuff, not Beta. if that test case is labelled beta it should be changed to final. from Final criteria - "The installer must be able to complete an installation using IDE, SATA, SCSI and iSCSI storage devices "
That's right, it's final not beta - my bad, didn't look straight. Good catch, Adam.
