Hey KP, test_ima is passing only the very first time I run it in my VM. Alexei earlier reported similar issues. If you run it second time without restarting the VM, you get the following: 10+0 records in 10+0 records out 10485760 bytes (10 MB, 10 MiB) copied, 0.00425121 s, 2.5 GB/s mke2fs 1.45.0 (6-Mar-2019) Discarding device blocks: done Creating filesystem with 10240 1k blocks and 2560 inodes Filesystem UUID: b9927426-1d29-458f-b2a0-8fe56455d209 Superblock backups stored on blocks: 8193 Allocating group tables: done Writing inode tables: done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done ./ima_setup.sh: line 53: /sys/kernel/security/ima/policy: Permission denied test_test_ima:PASS:skel_load 0 nsec test_test_ima:PASS:ringbuf 0 nsec test_test_ima:PASS:attach 0 nsec test_test_ima:PASS:mkdtemp 0 nsec test_test_ima:FAIL:71 #128 test_ima:FAIL Do you see it on your side? Do you have any idea what's wrong? Also, see that super-descriptive `test_test_ima:FAIL:71` line? That's the reason I'm always bitching about CHECK_FAIL() use. At least this one is not inside some loop. -- Andrii
