BTW, I'm not sure what you mean by the above.  setfiles does accept a -r
option to specify an alternate root path, so you can apply it to a
chroot setup without running it chroot'd itself.  But without that
option, I wouldn't have expected it to touch /mnt at all, especially as
file_contexts marks it <<none>>.
