I just rebooted, and the box seems to be working fine. It seems to have
hung in the shutdown sequence. The files were relabeled successfully
when I rebooted the box. Thank you all.

I am trying to set up SELinux on my Fedora Core 7 workstation. I am
using the pre-installed GUI SELinux configuration tool in FC7. I
selected a targeted set-up. I was warned that the workstation would need
to reindex the files at the next reboot and that this would take a
while. I clicked ok. I rebooted the workstation Saturday morning at
about 10am. It is still unresponsive (and not available for remote
connections) and working hard this morning, almost 48 hours later. How
long should reindexing take? The workstation is new. It has 2 1TB disks
(RAID mirrored), but there isn't much on them yet - perhaps 30MB plus
the OS and other programs installed by the manufacturer (ASL). Does
reindexing really take this long? This is my first attempt at SELinux,
and any help is appreciated. Thank you.
I assume you mean relabeling rather than reindexing. It shouldn't take
that long. Are you getting output on the console?
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.
