Subject: libselinux: helpful message when /selinux won't mount
Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2007 14:07:47 -0600

Last night a co-worker was trying to do a Phyical-2-Virtual (P2V)
migration of a RHEL5 box.

During bootup, the following not-so-helpful message was seen:

"Unable to load SELinux Policy. Machine is in enforcing mode. Halting
now."

I ran it down to the /selinux mount point not existing on the root
filesystem, but the troubleshooting was more difficult than it should
have been (it didn't help that it was a 3am).

Please consider the following trivial patch for inclusion into
libselinux so that others may have an easier time if they happen into
the same situation.
