Description Ian Dall 2011-12-17 12:56:01 UTC
Description of problem:

When using readonly root with selinux disabled, the fedora-readonly service always reports as failed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

initscripts-9.34-2.fc16

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure a system with readonly-root (/etc/sysconfig/readonly-root)
2. Boot with selinux=0
3. systemctl --failed
  
Actual results:
fedora-readonly.service has failed


Expected results:
fedora-readonly.service is not listed

Additional info:

The issue is the helper script /lib/systemd/fedora-readonly exists with the wrong exit status.

[ -n "$SELINUX_STATE" ] && [ -e "$path" ] && restorecon -R "$path"

is not quite the same as

if [ -n "$SELINUX_STATE" ] && [ -e "$path" ]; then
    restorecon -R "$path"
fi

The difference being the status.

If the fedora-readonly.service fails would that effect prevent other services which Require fedora-readonly from running?
