Description George Moody 2004-04-01 19:42:37 UTC
Here are two questions likely to be frequently asked, missing from the
FAQ.  They belong right after "Q: I installed Fedora Core on a system
with an existing /home partition, and now I can't log in."

Q: If I relabel my existing /home partition after upgrading to FC2,
will I still be able to read it if I need to revert to FC1? (In other
words, am I burning my bridges when I run setfiles or fixfiles?)

Q: Can an NFS-mountable /home partition be shared by FC1 and FC2
installations?

Adding blocking (back?) against 118757 for tracking purposes.

Research on answers currently occuring on fedora-selinux-list:

Comment 2 Karsten Wade 2004-04-02 19:40:16 UTC
I'm going to make tie this together with an answer for 119461, as they
address similar issues.  Two or more questions and answers may come
out of this.  I'll duplicate this information in that bug.

Comment 3 Karsten Wade 2004-04-02 19:42:58 UTC
Well, this was a hackish way to create a connection between two bugs
without having it be an actual dependency.

Reopening this bug to answer just the first question:

Q: If I relabel my existing /home partition after upgrading to FC2,
will I still be able to read it if I need to revert to FC1? (In other
words, am I burning my bridges when I run setfiles or fixfiles?)

The second question is a duplicate of 119461 and will be answered there.


Comment 4 Karsten Wade 2004-04-03 01:47:13 UTC
Well (again), this actually is a duplicate of 119461.  Sorry about the
confusion and noise in the mbox.  Everything is answered in 119461.
