Description of problem:

Installing Xen guests using virt-install or virt-manager fails when SElinux is enabled. After disabling SElinux (setenforce 0) installation of VMs works OK.

I'm using LVM volumes as disk backends for the Xen domUs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xen-hypervisor-4.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64
xen-runtime-4.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64
xen-libs-4.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64
xen-4.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64
xen-licenses-4.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.10.0-51.fc16.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.10.0-51.fc16.noarch
libvirt-client-0.9.6-2.fc16.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.6-2.fc16.x86_64
libvirt-python-0.9.6-2.fc16.x86_64
python-virtinst-0.600.0-5.fc16.noarch
virt-manager-common-0.9.0-7.fc16.noarch
virt-manager-0.9.0-7.fc16.noarch


How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 16 Xen dom0 host.
2. Leave SElinux enabled/enforcing (the default setting).
3. Try to install Xen PV domU with LVM volume as a disk backend, using virt-install or with virt-manager.
  
Actual results:
Installations fails due to SElinux denial.

Expected results:
Installation works.

Running "setenforce 0" fixes the problem.
