What happens is that newly created files don't get labelled properly, so that if you ever want to turn selinux back on, you will need to relabel as part of the process of turning it back on. In the grand scope of things the time for a relabel isn't going to be that long. Depending on the number of files on your system and the speed a typical relabel will normally be less than a half hour. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
