SELinux is preventing devkit-disks-da (devicekit_disk_t) - selinux - Fedora mailing-lists

6 Apr 2009


      Dear fellow selinux experts,
I got a selinux denial upon mounting a fat32 partition(shared between windows and linux).  How can I fix it so that it does not show up again if it does?
Summary:
SELinux is preventing devkit-disks-da (devicekit_disk_t) "sys_ptrace"
devicekit_disk_t.
Detailed Description:
SELinux denied access requested by devkit-disks-da. It is not expected that this
access is required by devkit-disks-da and this access may signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the
application is causing it to require additional access.
Allowing Access:
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.
