Hello, I'm using HP homeserver where host system run CentOS 6.3 with KVM virtualization with SELinux enabled, guests too run the same OS (but without SELinux, but this does not matter). Host system installed on mirrors based on sda and sdb physical disks. sd{c..f} disks attached to KVM guest (whole disks, not partitions; needed to use zfs (zfsonlinux) benefit features). Problem is that disks (files in /dev) which attached to KVM guest has SELinux context which inaccessible from context of smartd process.

How I can create permissive rule for selinux in my case?
