1 There's currently a showstopper with ReiserFS preventing full deployment
2 of the new SELinux API. Reiser3 doesn't support extended attributes with
3 which SELinux can apply labels, so unfortunately it would never be able
4 to work. Unfortunately, nobody has taken up a project to modify Reiser3,
5 so it looks like we're left waiting for Reiser4. PeBenito can offer you
6 more information about the new SELinux API.
