[CentOS] move a disk to another machine
I have a centos 6.6 laptop which is having trouble (intermittent boot failures, or more rightly so, multiple failures, intermittent booting). The laptop is running selinux. I pulled the second internal disk out to get my data off of it. I plugged it into my centos 5.x machine and mounted it. I was able to do a dir listing, but whrn I tried to cd into any of the directories, I get a bunch of AVC denials, and I can't see any files. The contos 5.x machine is selinux enforcing, and so is the centos 6.x box. The files are all owned by me, and have the same uid/gid on both boxes. What is the right way to do this? Meanwhile, I put it back into the laptop, and kept attempting to boot the machine, until I got lucky and it came up. I was able to rsync the data off the drive, so this isn't a crisis, just a learning moment. thanks, -chuck -- ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Mount with a permissive context: mount -o context=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t If you mount without that, ls -Z will show you the labeling and you can probably figure out why you're getting the denials based on the AVC message. -- Chris Murphy ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If it is that simple, then live and learn. I had thought there were differences between 5.x and 6.x that were causing the problem, since the uid/gid are the same on both boxes for the file owner. There must have been something in the xattrs that didn't line up... thanks, -chuck -- ACCEL Services, Inc.| Specialists in Gravity, Magnetics | (713)993-0671 ph. | and Integrated Interpretation | (713)993-0608 fax 448 W. 19th St. #325|Since 1992 | (713)306-5794 cell Houston, TX, 77008 | Chuck Campbell | campb...@accelinc.com | President Senior Geoscientist | Integration means more than having all the maps at the same scale! ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
