Along with XFS too I believe. Actually, I'm afraid that there was breakage in SELinux support for xfs and reiserfs starting with 2.6.14 as a side effect of the introduction of support for atomic security labeling for new files (ensuring that file security labels are applied in the same transaction as the file creation, so that the file does not exist temporarily in an unlabeled state). A workaround for xfs has recently been upstreamed for 2.6.16 (so xfs was broken in 2.6.14 and 2.6.15). Not clear that anyone will fix reiserfs anytime soon; SELinux support has never been a priority of the reiserfs maintainers (upstream or SuSE); it only started working with SELinux in 2.6.12 anyway. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
