Perhaps that happened in an older version of vim? Using F7 I have no
problem editing /etc/fstab in vim. The context, before and after, is:
# ll -Z /etc/fstab
-rw-r--r-- root root system_u:object_r:etc_t /etc/fstab
I'm not sure if it's vim that maintains the context or if restorecond
resets them -- there's no log messages saying it has. But the result
is the same either way, the context is maintained without my help.
