This is not a bug - and duplicate of #1084471... this is documented behaviour change - in RHEL6, -Z <something> was used for setting context. In RHEL 7, long option --context has to be used for setting context, and -Z just restores the context of the file. Closing duplicate, as I plan to improve the docs with http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=30acfcab as #1084471 bugfix. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1084471 *** |
Description of problem: * cp does not work as described in its man page - the destination file is not created at all ! -Z, --context[=CTX] set SELinux security context of destination file to default type, or to CTX if specified Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): coreutils-debuginfo-8.22-11.el7.x86_64 coreutils-8.22-11.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: # rm -f empty-file another-empty-file # touch empty-file # ls -Z *empty-file -rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 empty-file # cp -Z unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 empty-file another-empty-file cp: target ‘another-empty-file’ is not a directory # echo $? 1 # ls -Z *empty-file -rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 empty-file # Actual results: * the file is not copied Expected results: * the file is copied
