Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat

Dear All,

I am facing a unknown error, I start the Linux (RHEL 4 update 6) as usual.
After starting the various services(like network,sendmail,portmap etc) a error appears suddenly.

The error looks like :

Post_create: setxattr failed, rc=28 (dev=hda2 ino=772685)
Post_create: setxattr failed, rc=28 (dev=hda2 ino=917732)
Post_create: setxattr failed, rc=28 (dev=hda2 ino=772685)

and it appears continously.

so guys I am not able to login, As it is a severe error please help me to get rid of this.

Thanks and regards,
Akhtar Bhat.

akhtar.bhat,

Can you login at init 1 and capture the /var/log/messages?

What particular service is the system trying to start when this error occurs.?

Are you using SELINUX?

Hi,
This error is due to SELinux. The easiest way is disable it as follow. In /etc/selinux/config, set SELINUX=disabled and reboot your server.

If you need to work with SELinux enabled, attach the /var/log/messages as csorhand asked you.

Regards,
