Seeing "JFSutils" I assumed it was the user mode support code being discussed, but that was just my thought. If the kernel needs updating, hopefully we would see it in 2.6.39, I think that's still in play, or 2.6.40 later this year. I don't see any inherent reason why JFS would need SElinux off, so someone might fix that in the future, were they so inclined. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
