On the slowest machine I have access to (a machine that can never run Fedora because it doesn't meet the hardware requirements) it takes 12 seconds to run setfiles on a fully loaded /dev. On machines that are a mere four years old it takes about 2 seconds, I doubt that you will be able to measure the difference that this makes on any hardware that can be purchased now. But writing some code to check for the file system type is not too difficult. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
