Running targeted/enforcing, latest rawhide. I created a 'backup' of my root lvm2 partition, mounted the new partition as /mnt, and copied the files via 'cp -dpR / /mnt'. The copied files were all incorrectly labeled. (same result with cp --preserve=all'). I tried 'chroot /mnt; restorcon -v -R /', but it had no effect (returned immediately), as did any other resorecon attempted in the chroot'ed shell. 'setfiles -v /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts /' did the right thing. [Its almost as if restorecon is using the 'real' full pathname (with leading /mnt), and setfiles is using the 'chroot'ed' pathname (without the leading /mnt).] First, should the 'preserve' on cp have failed to copy the contexts? Second, why the difference in behavior between setfiles and restorecon in this context? Still curious, tom -- Tom London
