After booting F16 Alpha XFCE Live Media (from USB), I get the following in dmesg:

Comment 1 Lennart Poettering 2011-08-29 12:01:59 UTC 
Igor, any selinux AVCs in the logs when this happens?

Dan, do you have an idea what might be wrong here? This is our own label_mkdir() which internall invokes setfscreatecon() followed by mkdir(). The setfscreatcon() fails with EPERM/EACCES.
Comment 2 Lennart Poettering 2011-08-29 12:03:27 UTC 
Hmm, probably a duplicate of bug 733086
Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-08-29 16:17:23 UTC 
I think so.
