Hello,

I'm running Fedora Core RawHhide and I'm seeing lots of SELinux AVCs
during boot, related to my swap stored in a LVM volume:

audit(1130670344.636:4): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=919
comm="restorecon" name="VolGroup00-Swap" dev=tmpfs ino=653
scontext=system_u:system_r:restorecon_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:fixed_disk_device_t:s0 tclass=blk_file

audit(1130670345.668:5): avc:  denied  { use } for  pid=932

audit(1130670346.092:7): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=941

Attached to this message you will find "dmesg" which stores the dmesg
kernel ring which results after booting into runlevel 5.

Any ideas?
Thanks!
The fd:use and blk_file read is caused by a kernel bug. Basically the kernel is leaking open file descriptors to subprocesses and SELinux is preventing access to these leaked file descriptors. This is a good thing, since these processes could gain would be able to manipulate these file descriptors. SELinux is great at detecting and preventing this type of problem. This has been reported to bugsilla. Reviewing you dmesg file also reveals that you have blkid.tab labeled incorrectly.

restorecon /etc/blkid.tab*

will fix this.
