dump/restore EA errors

[Brian Krusic]

Hi,

Not sure if even this is were I should post so forgive the mis- 
posting.  I did a search for selinux help and this is were I got.

I'm running RHEL 5 and am having SE linux issues even though I have SE  
Linux disabled.

I have basic support and they really are of no help on this matter.

My scenario;

RHEL 5 NFS server (although it can be a Centos NFS server or even a  
BlueArc).
Centos 5 NFS client.
Dump/Restore.

 From my NFS client I do;

dump -f - / | restore -r -r -

I can get screen loads of stuff like;

restore: ./etc/ysyconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: EA set  
security.selinux:system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 failed: Operation not  
supported.

This happens on various files in various folders.

The dump/restore does complete and the files do get restored.

lsattr shows nothing set on the source files and when doing it on the  
NFS share, I get;

lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on ....  
(this is various dirs).

Any clues are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
- Brian
