Hi!
I am trying libvirt on POWERPC64 with the default settings such as selinux
enabled. It is all good till I move images out of /var/lib/libvirt/images/.
http://libvirt.org/drvqemu.html#securityselinux is saying that "If
attempting to use disk images in another location, the user/administrator
must ensure the directory has be given this requisite label. Likewise
physical block devices must be labelled system_u:object_r:virt_image_t.".
So did I:
[root@vpl2 ~]# ls -dlZ /home/aik/virtimg /var/lib/libvirt/images
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0 /home/aik/virtimg
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0 /var/lib/libvirt/images
[root@vpl2 ~]# ls -lZ /home/aik/virtimg /var/lib/libvirt/images
/home/aik/virtimg:
-rwxrwxrwx. root root system_u:object_r:virt_content_t:s0
Fedora-18-ppc64-DVD.iso
/var/lib/libvirt/images:
-rwxrwxrwx. root root system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0 fc18guest
However "virsh -c qemu:///system create libvirtguest-aik.xml" failes with
"avc: denied { dac_override }" and "avc: denied { dac_read_search }".
Also, there is "user system_u is not defined" in /var/log/messages what is
confusing as "semanage user -l" says it is there.
If I simply move Fedora-18-ppc64-DVD.iso to /var/lib/libvirt/images, the
problem goes away and everything works fine.
I am running custom build 3.8 kernel and libvirt from git ("eebbb23 qemu:
support URI syntax for NBD").
More detailed output is below, this is all from the host system.
What do I miss? Thank you.
