Is this /data being volume mounted into the container, could it be done with the :Z or :z option.

:Z will tell it to use private labeling, :z Will tell it to use shared labeling. (Shared between containers).

Its been a while, but This happens on dirs that are not being mounted also iirc.

FYI, from IRC

<SteveWatt> </html>
<SteveWatt>  the mounted directory is /test
<SteveWatt> it is mounting /opt

You need to fix the labels on the volume you are mounting into the container.

@pmorie, any insight here?  

Currently the k8's submission is declarative, we only specify hostPath the actual mounting details are handled by the kubelet.

More details...  another labelling issue most likely when we attempt to run e2e hostDir test (pending into kubernetes), we get ....

  not to have occurred

when attempting to read/write onto a mounted volume.

This is reproduced by 

(1) enabling selinux
(2) running test/e2e/hostDir.go (might be moved, pr is https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/pull/7756 ).

Can you pass a Read/Only flag?  If yes then you should be able to pass a Shared/Private flag for relabeling. Of course this has not made it into docker upstream, but it is very close.

TL;DR recap of my phone convo w/ Tim SC:

There is no treatment for selinux wrt hostDir plugin.  Eventually, the security work going on now will ensure that the selinux context is relabeled so that it plays nice with the selinux context a container is running in.

For now, I would look at whether the policy changed around /var/lib/kubelet during 7.1.1 -> present.

I am closing this since I believe it is fixed in current release.
