Re: Monitoring and prevention of MBR activity.

Hi All-
Wonderful information and good thread.  Thanks!  

We have a piece of vendor code that is replicating several fiber attached LUNs.  We believe there is a software has a mis-configuration causing /dev/sda vs /dev/sdaa (one of the many LUNS) to have its MBR zeroed.  

SELinux seems like an appropriate tool to at least monitor access if not allow full blocking.

Write protection is not an option as its a PERC controller and /dev/sda is the boot mirror (unless there are known alternatives)?

Thanks again all,

George

Not to mention that there are some tools - parted being one - which need
access (rw) to that sector of the hdd, regardless of who runs these tools.
