[gentoo-hardened] LVM Trouble

[gentoo-hardened] LVM Trouble

[mailinglists]

Hi everybody!

Although I am running a hardened box for almost one year now I am still
quite new to this topic, since it ran all the time in non-enforcing
mode, due to lack of time.
Now I started to get it running in enforcing mode and succeeded with
sshd+samba when switching the booted machine to enforcing mode, but when
booting with enforcing=1 I get stuck with

* Setting up the Logical Volume Manager
/var/lock: mkdir failed: Permission denied
Locking type 1 intialisation failed.  [ok]
* Checking all filesystems...
/dev/hda1: clean.....
fsck.ext3: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/vg/home
Possibly non-existent or swap device?
........                    [!!]

After this the "Give root password for maintenance.." appears, where I
am finally completely stuck since my password is not accepted.

Any hint greatly appreciated!




Some details about the system:
- kernel 2.6.11-hardened-r15 (SELinux,PAX)
- baselayout 1.11.13
- lvm2 2.01.09

/etc/conf.d/rc looks like
RC_TTY_NUMBER=11
RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="no"
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="no"
RC_VOLUME_ORDER="raid evms lvm dm"
RC_USE_FSTAB="no"
RC_USE_CONFIG_PROFILE="yes"
RC_FORCE_AUTO="no"
RC_DEVICES="static"
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes"

Hi

try to move lock dir to /etc/lvm as it is written in lvm.fc:
# LVM creates lock files in /var before /var is mounted
# configure LVM to put lockfiles in /etc/lvm/lock instead
# for this policy to work (unless you have no separate /var)

I had some problems with booting in enforce mode and simple help was to
turn the dev tarball off (RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no" in /etc/conf.d/rc)
