Having applied Dan Walsh's suggested fix for a SpamAssassin problem, I'm now seeing errors when running a virtual machine via KVM.

The image was created in virt-install quite a while ago:

-rwxr-xr-x  root root system_u:object_r:xen_image_t    XP1

However, after changing to enforcing mode I saw lots of these errors:

Xen is not KVM.

Your image has the xen_image_t label because its in /var/lib/xen/images

Yes, I always found that location a bit odd, but that's where I was told to put them the last time I had similar trouble (i.e. if I didn't put them in /var/lib/xen/images, they wouldn't
pick up the right context).

By default KVM images live in /var/lib/libvirt/images/ and have
virt_image_t label. Xen probably ought to be allowed to read virt_image_t
and then we should change /var/lib/xen/images/ to also be virt_image_t
and get rid of xen_image_t. It is not nice to have different labels and
locations for different virt technology. So we should make sure everything
is using the generic virt_image_t


That would be simpler, yes.
In the meantime you can either move your images or relabel them to be
virT_image_t for use with KVM

Yes, I've relabeled and that seems to have worked for now.

On a related point, will I need to apply virt_image_t to .iso files I'm mounting in
these VMs?

Thanks,
Adam
