Description Nicolas Mailhot 2011-07-27 08:23:24 UTC 
selinux policy tries to change initrd selinux labels, even though the initrd is mounted read only and can not be modified

$ rpm -qa selinux* dracut* kernel*|sort

Did you force an autorelebal?
Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-07-29 14:45:03 UTC 
This might be systemd attempting to do this?  How did you set this up?

It occurs both with and without forcing autorelabels

I booted. It's more obvious without rhbg quiet on the kernel command line
Comment 5 Harald Hoyer 2011-08-03 10:33:35 UTC 
Hmm, with rawhide, the initramfs is kept in /run/initramfs for the shutdown procedure. Can restorecond just wait until /run is mounted rw again?
Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2011-08-03 15:47:49 UTC 
This is not restorecond, this is systemd executing a restorecon on /run and /dev I believe.
Comment 7 Lennart Poettering 2011-08-21 12:39:09 UTC 
systemd is relabelling /run here. Harald, why is /run mounted r/o here?

It's not r/o .. dracut just creates incorrect symlinks! 

dracut-013-4 should be used!!

Comment 10 Lennart Poettering 2011-08-31 16:10:28 UTC 
dracut 13-4 is stable since a while, hence closing.
