Zdenek,

fixfiles are used for relabeling.
Relabel hints the system was labeled before.
But when the system is labeled initially?
After selinux-policy-targeted (or minimum/mls) is installed. These packages contain distribution policy modules (including file context definitions).


In which cases
1. semodule should be called?
"semodule" is for managing policy modules (install, remove, list, enable, disable), so for example when you want to add a custom policy module, or list which modules are present in your system.

2. fixfiles should be executed?
After a policy change (new policy module is installed/removed, or new file context definition is added using "semanage fcontext"), or after mounting a new filesystem. Note that relabeling can be done using "fixfiles", "setfiles", or "restorecon", all of which use the same underlying code (each is just aimed at different use-case).

Hope this helps.
Vit

Thanks.
