I created the archive using the -xattr and -Hexustar options. With my
system up, I can restore it to a different directory and the files
are correctly labeled.
However, booted into the FC5 rescue mode, I get the following message for
every file:
star: Can not setup security context for 'testfile'. Not created.
The files end up looking like this afterwards:
# ls -lZ
-rw-r--r-- root root system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t testfile
So, it looks as if using dump/restore or "star", I have the same
inability to preserve security context. This is a practical problem for
me since I am wanting to recreate my partitions using an LVM.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks for all the help so far!!!
