Thanks for reporting this issue. We must revert this part of
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/4220 ("One shot prepare")
The selinux requirement came since that patch moves the storage
reprository to a new location (/var/run/vdsm/storage) instead of the
trademark-offensive non-standard /rhev/data-center.

EL6.4 would not be able to use the new location with selinux enabled.

We have a much bigger issue with this change, as it breaks migration to
and from ovirt-3.3; solving this is in the works.

This is a known and unavoidable issue (since
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/11709 of Mar 28 2013). oVirt users on F18 would
have to obtain libvirt from virt-preview or compile it themselves.
