I just returned from 5 weeks out of the country, and one of the updates that rolled out in that time is preventing PostgreSQL from starting. The exact error message is:
Jan 16 16:57:53 home kernel: audit(1105916273.121:0): avc: denied { read } for pid=7164 exe=/usr/bin/postgres name=PG_VERSION dev=md1 ino=296800 scontext=root:system_r:postgresql_t tcontext=user_u:object_r:var_lib_t tclass=file
I found one thread about this problem, but it did not seem to contain a solution. (Unlike that poster, my database is in my root filesystem.)
I'm all for a theoretical discussion about why this happened, but I would also really appreciate anyone who can tell me how to get things working again.
Thanks!
Have you tried
restorecon -R -v /var/lib
