Hi Folks:
I am getting a warning about protections/ownership when I provision domU's using koan and don't know how to fix it. Here is the command that I am using, along with the error message and a listing of the file permissions.
dom0 # koan --virt --system=cs-0004 --nogfx <output snipped> Could not create /etc/xen/auto/cs-0004 symlink. Please check write permissions and ownership dom0 # ls -ldg /etc/xen/auto drwxrwxrwx 2 root 4096 Sep 28 06:38 /etc/xen/auto
What should the permissions and ownership be?
Is there some way that I could re-create those files using something like this:
dom0 #
BTW, the domU's seem to be operating just fine but I am having problem with convirt (a 3rd party tool) and this might be the cause because it can't find the VM configurations.
Thanks,
Joe

Is selinux stopping things?

Where is it looking for them?
Hi Scott:

I don't think so. It appears to be disabled. Is there something else I should check?
dom0 # cat /etc/selinux/config # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - SELinux is fully disabled. SELINUX=disabled # SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are: # targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected. # strict - Full SELinux protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted
Where is it looking for them?
I am not sure. I am still trying to figure it out :-)
Cheers,
Joe
