The current svirt patch relabels all disk to the image_t:MCS, which is

Also when libvirt is completed running the image it needs to relabel the
image back to something sane.  Right now it is labeling everything
imagelabel:s0, including phisical disk partitions.  I considered two
ways of labeling the "disk" back.  We can either grab the label when
libvirt starts and change it back to this label when ever an image
completes or we can ask the system what the label should be.
(matcpathcon).  I originally coded up the first, but quickly realized if
anything went wrong with libvirt labeling like a crash, the labels on
disk could be wrong.  And libvirt would continuously set them to this
wrong label.  With matchpathcon, libvirt will at least set them to
something sane.

So this patch Removes labeling of readonly and shared disks and restores
the images label to the system default when the image completes.

I would really like to get this in ASAP.  Since currently libvirt is
relabeing the cdrom to virt_image_t when it is complete as well as
physical disks.

ACK this all looks sane to me.

Is this going to be merged in?
