I have been trying to start up the postgresql postmaster server to a database which have all failed. The following are a list of avc: denied messages from /var/log/messages: May 13 13:20:32 localhost kernel: audit(1116015632.155:0): avc: denied { write } for pid=16659 exe=/usr/bin/postgres name=pgdb dev=hda2 ino=6471728 scontext=user_u:system_r:postgresql_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=dir May 13 13:20:32 localhost last message repeated 7 times May 13 13:20:32 localhost kernel: audit(1116015632.156:0): avc: denied { write } for pid=16659 exe=/usr/bin/postgres name=pgdb dev=hda2 ino=6471728 scontext=user_u:system_r:postgresql_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=dir May 13 13:20:32 localhost last message repeated 3 times May 13 13:20:32 localhost kernel: audit(1116015632.157:0): avc: denied { write } for pid=16659 exe=/usr/bin/postgres name=pgdb dev=hda2 ino=6471728 scontext=user_u:system_r:postgresql_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=dir May 13 13:20:32 localhost last message repeated 32 times May 13 13:20:32 localhost kernel: audit(1116015632.158:0): avc: denied { write } for pid=16659 exe=/usr/bin/postgres name=pgdb dev=hda2 ino=6471728 scontext=user_u:system_r:postgresql_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=dir May 13 13:20:32 localhost last message repeated 34 times May 13 13:20:32 localhost kernel: audit(1116015632.159:0): avc: denied { write } for pid=16659 exe=/usr/bin/postgres name=pgdb dev=hda2 ino=6471728 scontext=user_u:system_r:postgresql_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=dir Why am I getting write denials?
