Hi all, |

I have been experimenting with running SELinux on filesystems other than |
4 |
ext2 and ext3. My first attempt was with reiserfs(3.6) plus some patches |
5 |
from SUSE. I was able to get it (sort of) working after I fixed a locking |
6 |
issue. I found that it was a bit slow and tended to loose corrupt the |
7 |
context label. I decided that the xattr patch for reiserfs was just to slow |
8 |
and hackish. So I moved on to XFS as it already had xattr support. |

To get SElinux to work on XFS all that seems needed is a minor change to |
11 |
xfs_iops.[hc] so that it will recognize and allow security.* xattrs. I've |
12 |
made the changes, and created a 2.4.21 kernel with XFS, the ea+acl patchset |
13 |
and SElinux. There is almost no overlap and the only manual merging required |
14 |
is when adding the SElinux. The quota stuff changes with XFS and so the |
15 |
security_quotactl call has to be moved fro the deleted dquot.c to the new |
16 |
quota.c. |

|

I'm testing my changes right now and would like to know if anyone else is |
19 |
interested in a SElinux+xfs combination. |
