Giving httpd access to a mounted NTFS volume
Hi,
I am using selinux under Fedora 10 (2.6.27.37).
I have Apache httpd running, and I would like it to be able to serve requests
for files which are on a mounted NTFS volume.
I have tried to mount the volume with an appropriate context:
mount -o context=system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 /dev/somedevice
/mnt/somemountpoint
But the resulting context on files within the mount is
still: system_u:object_r:fusefs_t:s0
The mount itself doesn't generate any noteworthy warnings/errors in my logs.
So of course seliux disallows apache to read the files and generates
corresponding denials in my logs.
No other partition on this device is already mounted.
Is this a known bug?
Others seem to have similar issues:

I guess an alternative is to create a policy that tells selinux to allow httpd
to read fuse files, as is described here:

Any ideas?
Thanks
