Hi,

Not sure if even this is were I should post so forgive the mis- posting.
I did a search for selinux help and this is were I got.

I'm running RHEL 5 and am having SE linux issues even though I have SE
Linux disabled.

I have basic support and they really are of no help on this matter.

My scenario;

RHEL 5 NFS server (although it can be a Centos NFS server or even a
BlueArc).
Centos 5 NFS client.
Dump/Restore.

From my NFS client I do;

dump -f - / | restore -r -r -

I can get screen loads of stuff like;

restore: ./etc/ysyconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: EA set
security.selinux:system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 failed: Operation not
supported.

This happens on various files in various folders.

The dump/restore does complete and the files do get restored.

lsattr shows nothing set on the source files and when doing it on the
NFS share, I get;

lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on .... (this
is various dirs).

Any clues are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
- Brian

Looks like restore is trying to maintain the xattrs of a previous selinux label, when the kernel sees the xattr it refuses to assign it on an NFS share since NFS does not support xattrs.



Hi Daniel,

A few things;

1 - When doing an lsxattr, I don't see any thing other then ------------ which tells me that no extended attributes exist for that file.

2 - How do I remove any selinux lables since I don't use or need selinux?
