selinux has a special boolean to make it easier for disk images to be managedi by libvirt. Set this to true when a user adds an NFS storage pool. Most virtualzation documentation recommends that this be set to true. For example: http://www.ovirt.org/Troubleshooting_NFS_Storage_Issues http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Virtualization_problems This will leave it set to true, even if the user removes NFS storage pools. It is not a security risk, and we should not set it to False in case it had already been set by the user for another non-kimchi use.
