It isn't SELinux-related. SELinux is just reporting a denial when updatedb tries to access those files because they have a security context that isn't legal/defined under the active policy. To avoid, you can: 1) not mount those filesystems when they aren't being used, or 2) configure /etc/updatedb.conf to exclude them from being scanned by updatedb. man updatedb and updatedb.conf -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- selinux mailing list selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux
