I'm actually doing this:

Use audit2allow to identify AVC denied msgs:

  audit2allow -M local -l -i /var/log/audit/audit.log

Copy the contents of the local.te file produced by the command to xen.te

Compile and install the policy like this:

export SEAPP=xen
checkmodule -M -m -o ${SEAPP}.mod ${SEAPP}.te
semodule_package -o ${SEAPP}.pp -m ${SEAPP}.mod
semodule -i ${SEAPP}.pp

Will "storage_raw_read_fixed_disk(xm_t)" fit into the class/type/role
format used in the .te files? Or do I need to do something different?

Thanks for your help with this.

R.
