[Linux-cluster] gfs support for extended security attributes

[Ryan O'Hara]

David,

Sorry for the delay.

The current release of GFS (in RHEL3 and RHEL4) does not support SELinux 
extended attributes.

The code for GFS(1) in cvs HEAD does have support of SELinux. I added 
this code recently. This should make its way into our released version 
of GFS in the near future.

GFS2, which is currently in development and being pushed upstream, also 
has SELinux extended attribute support.

So to answer your questions... No, our current release does not support 
SELinux. Yes, we do plan to support it and the code is in-place.

Note that anyone who wanted to try using GFS/GFS2 with SELinux 
attributes may need to make relevant changes to the policy. With that 
said, I do know for certain that the Rawhide packages do have a policy 
that define gfs and gfs2 as supported filesystems.

Ryan
