The only risk is that you will have a mislabeled file. Most labels would only effect /usr and /var. If you want to make sure everything is labeled correctly after the machine comes back, you can run fixfiles restore & And just let it run. This basically will check every file on disk and correct any labels that do not match the default. If you have have large disks with a huge amount of files on them, you could mount the disk with a context mount and then Fixfiles would ignore the partitions. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlA2C8UACgkQrlYvE4MpobP5rgCdGivoMLdQo8sDX8q6MjCE7Jek /fsAnRtZUhjLM58dIhQ2JHpSR69ES3bQ =RVEY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- selinux mailing list selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux
