Well, I've got a stuff-up - but where's the stomach?
my fstab:
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=SWAP-sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /home/cj/archive ext3 defaults 1 2
message I got when booting up just now:
Nov 1 20:25:48 localhost kernel: audit(1162430744.537:6): avc: denied { mounton } for pid=2341 comm="mount" name="archive" dev=sdb1 ino=65175554 scontext=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0 tcontext=user_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 tclass=dir
Nov 1 20:25:48 localhost kernel: audit(1162430744.537:7): avc: denied { mounton } for pid=2341 comm="mount" name="archive" dev=sdb1 ino=65175554 scontext=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0 tcontext=user_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 tclass=dir
That last entry is my latest try for this drive in fstab - it's clear. The label for that drive had been /home/cj/archive - I changed it to "bigstore" -
I tried using the LABEL=/bigstore method, as well. The problem is that on boot-up, my system is trying to mount sdb1 instead of sdc1 - sdb1
has already been mounted in a previous step as /: any other ideas, anyone?
