I have a general scoping question on setting SELinux context on files/directories during early boot. I'm working on a feature in dracut to implement general stacking of filesystem hierarchies via OverlayFS for the root filesystem within the dmsquash-live-root module. How should I address the setting of context for new files, directories, or links needed to assemble the components for the OverlayFS mount? For example, when I mkdir -m 0755 -p --context=system_u:object_r:root_t:s0 /run/somemountpoint I get this warning in the journal: mkdir: warning: ignoring --context; it requires an SELinux/SMACK-enabled kernel If the SELinux code is not active at this early stage, what is to be done? _______________________________________________ selinux mailing list -- selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to selinux-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
