Hello, After updating to CentOS-5.7, I have a (small) problem : The context of /dev/megadev0 is now defined (in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts) as system_u:object_r:removable_device_t:s0. This cause smartmontools to fail : avc: denied { read write } for pid=2847 comm="smartd" name="megadev0" dev=tmpfs ino=8284 scontext=system_u:system_r:fsdaemon_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:removable_device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file Changing the context (of megadev0) to fixed_disk_device_t solves the problem, but is this the best solution ?
