Re: [bug-patch] patch-2.7

Russ,

patch tries to preserve the security.selinux attribute, but the kernel
doesn't let it do that:

  lgetxattr("f", "security.selinux", "unlabeled", 10) = 10
  lsetxattr("./f.o7cZfkQ", "security.selinux", "unlabeled", 10, 0) =
-1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported)

One way to work around the problem is to add a line with
"security.selinux skip" to
/etc/xattr.conf, but the real question is where the "unlabeled" label
is coming from,
and why it can't be set.
