Using bind mounts instead of symlinks will help. Fix the context of /apps too: # semanage fcontext -a -t root_t /apps # restorecon -Fv /apps And fix the context of /apps/var/log/*: # semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log /apps/var/log # restorecon -rvF /apps/var/log Paul. -- selinux mailing list selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux
