Correction to my prior mail do this as root : chcon system_u:object_r:postgresql_db_t /opt/home/pgdata/mspace When you need to know what config has any directory for SELinux do a: ls -lZ /your/dir and if you need /your/otherdir the same set the configuration for SELinux with chcon check the /var/lib/pgsql and you get : [root@fedora ~]# ls -lZ /var/lib/pgsql/ drwx------ postgres postgres system_u:object_r:var_lib_t backups drwx------ postgres postgres system_u:object_r:postgresql_db_t data -rw------- postgres postgres system_u:object_r:postgresql_log_t pgstartup.lo we set the SELinux permissions to yourdir as the permissions that /var/lib/pgsql/data has
Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for! To try it, I have to wait for the next reboot, because in order to get moving, I checked SELinux > Modify SELinux Policy > SELinux Service Protection > Disable SELinux Protection for postgresql daemon in system-config-securitylevel, and these kind of changes don't seem to take effect until the next reboot (although I think they should; I see 'avc: denied...' messages when I'm doing this, so there just may be some other SELinux problems here). Thanks a lot, Andras
