SELinux relabel forced after GRUB2 reinstall

view story
linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I'd like to start using fsarchiver instead of partimage for backups so I can move beyond ext3. After restoring the root partition with fsarchiver, I re-install grub2 via the Fedora 17 DVD: "Troubleshoot" then "Rescue Installed System" PROBLEM: after rebooting FC17, an SELinux relabel is forced, which takes about 20 minutes. I suspect this is occurring because I "messed with" the file system outside of SELinux's control. Any way to avoid it? Thanks! Dave (HowTos)

Stories similar to SELinux relabel forced after GRUB2 reinstall

On a recent install I cannot get system-config-selinux to start, it gives :

Code: Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/share/system-config-selinux/system-config-selinux.py", line 57, in <module>     gnome.program_init("SELinux Management Tool", "5") AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'program_init' when started

So, I had fun with this one the past week.

I had an FC11 system running just fine. Then one day it would not boot - it was hung somewhere inside the init script of the initrd image. CTRL-ALT-DEL would reboot the system. Using grub editor, I could temporarily delete the initrd line and boot into the system OK. But what was going on?

I have a quick question about the "BackUp" application that comes with Ubuntu 12.04.

I managed to set up my computer the way I like it. Now, I'd like to create a backup of my file system partition. I've research a few backup options (such as fsarchiver, partimage), but if I'm not mistaken, in order to be able to use fsarchiver I have to run it from a live cd.

Hello:

I always thought that whenever /usr/sbin/setsebool was used, it would write either a "0" or a "1" into the corresponding boolean file.

SeLinux - The fun never ends. 23 weeks 5 days ago

So we're supposed to be able to understand SeLinux? Over the last few days while using Fedora 18 Beta I've been seeing some SeLinux warnings while doing system wide searches. While I've been able to handle SeLinux issues on my own (for the most part) this proposed solution baffles me.

I just installed Fedora 12. I use mplayer as my video player. The command line for mplayer reading a dvd is "mplayer dvd://1". It appears that the soft link /dev/dvd is now gone from this new install AND SELINUX removes the link during a reboot. My SELINUX is "enforcing".

How to disable SElinux? 3 years 24 weeks ago

Hi,

How do I remove/deactivate/kill SElinux completely?

I can ping my linux box from LAN and I can SSH to it - and that's it! I installed httpd and "netstat -ltn" shows it listening on tcp port 80 - also, if I "telnet localhost 80" on the box, it replies.

shell script question 27 weeks 5 days ago

hi,

has anyone a solution for the following:

on a redhat6 system (selinux is in enforcing mode) exists a script on the path "/root/script.sh". How can I make the script executable for the user "bar" ?? The script must stay in /root and is not allowed to get moved anywhere else. I assume that I have to change the selinux context - but no idea which one :confused:

Hello friends,

I am learning SELinux from LinuxCBT and I'm stuck at one place. Now video is on RHEL 4 (so tell me if things has changed since, cause I can't find anything related) shows how to disable SELinux security on httpd. It's following way
