Try rebooting into single-user mode in permissive mode and relabeling from there, e.g. boot with 'enforcing=0 single' and run 'fixfiles relabel' (and remove /.autorelabel if it still exists), then reboot normally. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
