Public bug reported: I was using kvm, while noticing a huge number of messages like this:
[662434.587171] type=1502 audit(1254817836.448:1893215): operation="file_perm" pid=1717 parent=1 profile="/usr/sbin/libvirtd//null-e//null-10" requested_mask="::w" denied_mask="::w" fsuid=0 ouid=1000 name="/home/arnd/kvm/windowsxpsp3.qcow2" I decided to stop apparmoer by issuing: sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor stop Maybe there is a problem with concurrent calls of apparmor (triggering audit messages by kvm) and stopping apparmor?
