SELinux filesystem relabel

[Kristoffer Knigga]

I've got around 370 GB on this machine, most of which is SAN-based.  Of
that, only about 15 GB are currently in use.  I'm estimating 207,506
files.  I got that number by using 'ls -AR1 / | wc -l', so it's slightly
inflated.

The entire relabel took approximately 24 hours.

Kris,

Just to give the rest of us some idea, I've two questions for you:
How big is your file system?How long did it take?As an Englishman, I'll
say that what you have just experienced is an application of "Sod's
Law"!

Regards,
Alan.
