Description Jerry Amundson 2011-09-08 04:42:23 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python from 'read' accesses on the blk_file drbd0.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that python should be allowed read access on the drbd0 blk_file 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 xend /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2011-09-08 13:00:39 UTC
Is there a reason you are using xend rather then libvirt?

Miroslav we should probably just run xend as unconfined, or we need to force people to do labeling of devices. 


If you change the label on this device to xen_image_t the avc will go away.
Is /dev/drbd0 a xen image?
