Does ReiserFS handle SELinux content now? I seem to recall that a
filesystem other than ext2 / ext3 was capable of accomidating SELinux
content. Is the progress less than expected by this date?
Regarding SELinux, it has problems, but the problems are usually dealt
with quickly when information can be supplied to pinpoint where the
adjustments that need to be made. I find SELinux still to be rather
cryptic. It does however ease worries a bit that critical services and
processes are protected better than possible on a system where SELinux
is not used.
