Public bug reported:
AppArmor denies access to files with a path length > 255 characters with
the error message "Failed name lookup - disconnected path".
Example log entry:
Mar 15 11:43:45 felix-desktop kernel: [ 6051.608954] type=1400
audit(1331808225.843:4896): apparmor="DENIED" operation="mknod" info="Failed
name lookup - disconnected path" error=-116 parent=24422
profile="/usr/bin/lintian"
name="temp-lintian-lab-xpvh_Pjhrm/pool/v/virtualbox/virtualbox_4.1.10-dfsg-1_source/virtualbox_4.1.10-dfsg.orig.tar.bz2.tmp-extract.5399h/virtualbox-4.1.10-dfsg/src/VBox/Devices/EFI/Firmware2/VBoxPkg/Library/VBoxOemHookStatusCodeLib/VBoxOemHookStatusCodeLib.c"
pid=24433 comm="tar" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000
It seems to omit the mount point in the path name (/tmp/).
The path_max parameter is much larger:
