file_t indicates you added a file system without labels.  Run restorecon -R -v FILESYSTEMPATH and the quotacheck command will work fine.

I tried both running restorecon -R -v FILESYSTEMPATH and add a label to the filesystem, the quotacheck command still fails for the same AVC message.

Could you show me your steps?

Cause
    After upgraded selinux-policy package from 3.7.19-85 to
    -87, execute `quotacheck -c' command if no quota file   
    existed.
Consequence
    AVC denial happened like the following below.

THat means you still do not have labels on the file system.

You need to run restorecon on the directory mountpoint that you are doing quotacheck on .

my steps:
dd if=/dev/zero of=ltp-fs-image bs=4096 count=8000
mkfs.ext3 -q -F -b 4096 ltp-fs-image -L label0
mkdir /tmp/mnt
mount -t ext3 -o loop,usrquota,grpquota ltp-fs-image /tmp/mnt
restorecon -R -v /tmp/mnt/
quotacheck -cug /tmp/mnt <-- fail

cd /tmp/mnt
restorecon -R -v /tmp/mnt/
quotacheck -cug /tmp/mnt <-- still fail

# mount -l
/root/ltp-fs-image on /tmp/mnt type ext3 (rw,loop=/dev/loop0,usrquota,grpquota) [label0] <-- have label

Try chcon --reference=/mnt /tmp/mnt rather then restorecon.

restorecon has no effect on /tmp files since it does not know what is in this directory.


dd if=/dev/zero of=ltp-fs-image bs=4096 count=8000
mkfs.ext3 -q -F -b 4096 ltp-fs-image -L label0
mkdir /tmp/mnt
mount -t ext3 -o loop,usrquota,grpquota ltp-fs-image /tmp/mnt
chcon --reference=/mnt /tmp/mnt/
quotacheck -cug /tmp/mnt

The above steps gave exact the same error message:

I also tried with mounting my loop file under /mnt but quotacheck -cug failed as well.

So you have the same AVC msg?

# ls -dZ /tmp/mnt

Sorry, I made a mistake, `quotacheck -cug /tmp/mnt' succeeded after applied `chcon --reference=/mnt /tmp/mnt/', the error was due to another command:

quotaon -ug /tmp/mnt/

the AVC msg was:

Is this the similar issue, or any misconfiguration still exist? Thanks.

quotaon -ug /tmp/mnt/ showed the following error msg:

# quotaon -ugv /tmp/mnt/
quotaon: using /tmp/mnt/aquota.group on /dev/loop0 [/tmp/mnt]: Permission denied
quotaon: using /tmp/mnt/aquota.user on /dev/loop0 [/tmp/mnt]: Permission denied

The problem is aquota.group and aquota.user are mislabeled.  How did these files get created?

Currently we have policy for the creation of this file.

allow quota_t quota_db_t:file { manage_file_perms quotaon };
files_root_filetrans(quota_t, quota_db_t, file)
files_boot_filetrans(quota_t, quota_db_t, file)
files_etc_filetrans(quota_t, quota_db_t, file)
files_tmp_filetrans(quota_t, quota_db_t, file)
files_home_filetrans(quota_t, quota_db_t, file)
files_usr_filetrans(quota_t, quota_db_t, file)
files_var_filetrans(quota_t, quota_db_t, file)
files_spool_filetrans(quota_t, quota_db_t, file)

Meaning we did not expect this file to be created on a mnt_t directory.  I guess we could add policy for this but if you just want the test to work, you could do.

chcon --reference=/var /tmp/mnt/'

And then this would mimic the file system being mounted on the /var.

they're created by previous quotacheck command:

# chcon --reference=/mnt /tmp/mnt/
# quotacheck -cug /tmp/mnt

Did these policies changed since -87 version? I could run quotacheck/quotaon/quotaoff commands successfully in -85 but failed in -87.

this command works, I could add this line to my code as a workaround.

However, I want to know if the policy change between -85 and -87 against quotacheck/on/off commands was expected. If the answer is YES, I think the bug can be closed; if no, is any reason to keep this change in new version rather than restoring to old policy?

I doubt there was any explicit change, but quotacheck could have been failing to transition and not it does.  Since this is a test of the quotacheck code it should probably be coded to handle the SELinux test case properly.

I diffed -85 and -86 and found this change:

I removed the above piece of patch and rebuilt the package, I was able to run quotacheck/on/off commands again without changing policy. So I think the above code is the point.

Now the question is simpler: is the above code change expected?

Yes in order to make sure the labels are correct.

*** Bug 712874 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

The test here needs to be fixed to label the mount point it is creating as a valid mountpoint for quota to be run on.

Since I believe this is a test issue, I am closing this as notabug.

I recently installed Fedora 15 that was down loaded last month.  When I run the following command, I got exactly the same error as Caspar did in May 2011: 

[root@localhost ~]# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1

try --reference=/var instead of /mnt

Thank you! That solution worked for me on both situations:
# chcon --reference=/var /tmp/mnt/
[root@localhost tmp]# quotacheck -cug /tmp/mnt
[root@localhost tmp]# chcon --reference=/var /opt/company_data
[root@localhost tmp]# quotacheck -ugm /opt/company_data
[root@localhost tmp]#
