Trying "mount -t tmpfs" from a root window fails:
[root@tlondon ~]# mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /ephemeral
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on tmpfs,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

Should the '-f 5' be '-f 4' to grab the context?
Thanks for your quick response.
> Should the '-f 5' be '-f 4' to grab the context?
I don't think so, there is one extra space between file mode and file owner in ls(1) output.
Note that the ideal solution is "stat --format='%C'" -- unfortunately the stat(1) util is in the /usr/bin directory.
The problem is probably the condition:
if con=$(ls -Zd "$2" | cut -f 5 -d ' '); then
I think better is:
if ! echo "$@" | grep -q -E '(fs|def|root)?context='; then
con=$(ls --scontext -d "$2" | cut -f 1 -d ' ')
if [ -n "$con" ] && [ "$con" != "?" ] && [ "$con" != "unlabeled" ]; then
/bin/mount "$@" -o rootcontext=\"$con\" -i -t tmpfs
exit $?
fi
fi
Note, ls(1) returns "?" or "unlabeled" when selinux is off and the directory is not labeled.

Created attachment 335894 [details] /var/log/boot.log from "failing" boot.
