[systemd-devel] bug: AVC denial when systemd-journald set to write to separate btrfs subvolume

[Chris Murphy]

This is a follow-up on this thread about directing the journal to a btrfs subvolume, if it's desired to maintain one journal even when booting other snapshots (such as doing a rollback):
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-January/016253.html

When I do this, systemd-journald tries to change permissions on /var/log/journal but selinux prohibits it. I think it's because such permission change isn't to a directory, but rather a mount point which would affect the permissions of the subvolume.

So this could very well be user error, and instead I need to make the subvolume permissions and ownership correct, and not expect that systemd can or should do this. But I figure it's better to ask.
