Are other file systems besides ext2 and ext3 supported under SELinux,
such as XFS or ReiserFS?

Version-Release of FAQ (found on
http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/selinux-faq-en/ln-legalnotice.html):

 selinux-faq-1.0-4 (2004-04-05-T04:20-0800)

Comment 1 Karsten Wade 2004-04-05 23:35:31 UTC
<notting> XFS supports labels, as I recall.

<jamesm> devpts can also be labeled with xattrs.

Comment 2 Karsten Wade 2004-04-06 00:41:35 UTC
<sct> Yes, the XFS xattr support got the security.* namespace added on
Jan 30 this year, so it should work fine

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-04-06 20:06:37 UTC
devpts, of course, isn't really a user-installable filesystem.


Comment 4 Karsten Wade 2004-04-06 23:21:08 UTC
To be included in 1.0-5.

## begin snippet from FAQ

Q:. What file systems can I use for SELinux?

A:. The file system must support xattr labels in the right security.*
namespace. In addition to ext2/ext3, XFS has recently added support
for the necessary labels.
