Hi,

Like many, I'm updating some servers to 6.4, and it has been mostly
good so far.

One problem I just ran into is some GlusterFS clients no longer being
able to mount the GlusterFS share. On boot I see these denials :

type=1400 audit(1361527863.287:4): avc:  denied  { execute } for
pid=872 comm="mount.glusterfs" name="glusterfsd" dev=vda2 ino=396095
scontext=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:glusterd_exec_t:s0 tclass=file type=1400
audit(1361527863.293:5): avc:  denied  { execute } for pid=872
comm="mount.glusterfs" name="glusterfsd" dev=vda2 ino=396095
scontext=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:glusterd_exec_t:s0 tclass=file

And when trying to "manually" mount, this error :

# service netfs restart
Mounting other filesystems:  /sbin/mount.glusterfs: line
130: /usr/sbin/glusterfs: Permission denied
Mount failed. Please check the log file for more details.

With the same SELinux denials logged.

This is a fully updated RHEL 6.4 system, including the updated SELinux
policy packages, and with a full relabel performed "just in case" :
selinux-policy-3.7.19-195.el6_4.1.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-195.el6_4.1.noarch

Has anyone else seen this? For now, I'll put in a quick fix to stop
these denials, but it seems like a proper fix might be needed in the
main policy.
