Hi,
I am not sure how rsync works, but should it have to be run as the root
user to preserve contexts?
$ pwd
/home/murray
$ mkdir other
$ ls -dZ other/
drwxrwxr-x murray murray unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 other/
$ touch file && chcon -t samba_share_t file
$ ls -Z file
-rw-rw-r-- murray murray unconfined_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 file
$ rsync -aXHv file other/
sending incremental file list
file
sent 122 bytes received 31 bytes 102.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
$ ls -Z other/
-rw-rw-r-- murray murray unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 file
# samba_share_t type was not preserved.
$ sudo rsync -aXHv file other/
sending incremental file list
sent 128 bytes received 17 bytes 290.00 bytes/sec
# running as sudo sends more bytes (previously 122).
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
$ ls -Z other/
-rw-rw-r-- murray murray unconfined_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 file
# samba_share_t type was preserved.
I am using:
rsync-3.0.4-0.fc10.i386
openssh-askpass-5.1p1-3.fc10.i386
openssh-5.1p1-3.fc10.i386
openssh-clients-5.1p1-3.fc10.i386
libssh2-0.18-7.fc9.i386
openssh-server-5.1p1-3.fc10.i386
selinux-policy-3.5.13-38.fc10.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.5.13-38.fc10.noarch
Cheers.
