Description of problem: This occurred while running qemu-kvm. The VM was hosting the F18 installer in another VM with /dev/sdb configured as the install target. SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/smartd from 'read' accesses on the blk_file sdb. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that smartd should be allowed read access on the sdb 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 smartd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:fsdaemon_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c250,c697 Target Objects sdb [ blk_file ] Source smartd Source Path /usr/sbin/smartd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages smartmontools-6.0-2.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-73.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.7.4-204.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 23 16:44:29 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-01-31 21:52:52 PST Last Seen 2013-01-31 21:52:52 PST Local ID 10e70e46-c06b-4a33-825f-014789494157 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1359697972.253:355): avc: denied { read } for pid=387 comm="smartd" name="sdb" dev="devtmpfs" ino=6522 scontext=system_u:system_r:fsdaemon_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c250,c697 tclass=blk_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1359697972.253:355): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7ff7881f8818 a1=800 a2=7ff78719d568 a3=7ff78719d568 items=0 ppid=1 pid=387 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=smartd exe=/usr/sbin/smartd subj=system_u:system_r:fsdaemon_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: smartd,fsdaemon_t,svirt_image_t,blk_file,read audit2allow #============= fsdaemon_t ============== #!!!!
