Hello,

  Has anyone experienced this failure.  xfs file system will not mount after a kernel upgrade.
 when SELinux is in permissive mode

Here are the details:


[root@ascwrk0 ~]# uname -a
Linux ascwrk0.hep.anl.gov 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 16 18:44:51 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


[root@ascwrk0 ~]# modinfo xfs
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.15.1.el5/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
license:        GPL

depends:        
vermagic:       2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 SMP mod_unload gcc-4.1


The error is Operation not permitted when trying to mount the existing xfs partition.

If I role back the kernel to 

[root@ascwrk0 ~]# uname -a
Linux ascwrk0.hep.anl.gov 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 20 00:57:09 EST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


and using this kernel module -

[root@ascwrk0 ~]# modinfo xfs

mount is successful.


When SELinux is set to disabled then the xfs filesystem mounts with the latest kernel.  Any suggestions how to fix the problem so that I 
can set SELinux back to permissive mode

Thanks,

Doug Benjamin
