Does anything special have to be done to cause SELinux to start using newly
added local filecontexts?  What I'm finding is that if I use semanage
fcontext -a to add a local filecontext definition, it is not used by
restorecon unless I specify the "-F" option.  Without the "-F" option,
restorecon -vv <file_path> gives the following message:

/sbin/restorecon: <file_path> not reset customized by admin to
<current_context>

but restorecon -vv -F <file_path> gives this:

/sbin/restorecon reset <file_path> context <current_context>-><new_context>

This is probably because <current_context> is a customizable type like httpd_sys_content_t; objects with these types don't get reset by restorecon unless you use -F. I'm not sure how to find out which types are customizable off the top of my head though.
