No, it makes NFS lie about setting the SELinux attribute, while not truly setting it at all (other than in-core). So it is then lost when the inode is evicted from memory or the system reboots. The patch was rejected upstream. The problem lies in cp (coreutils), not NFS, IIUC - it is making faulty assumptions about setxattr() always being supported when getxattr() is. -- 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
