Description seth vidal 2013-02-28 19:47:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
On upgrading our central log server took almost 2 hours to run restorecon as a result of an selinux policy pkg update.

It would be wonderful to backport the ability to exclude relabeling of certain dirs from the fedora fixfiles to the rhel6.4 fixfiles.



Background:
our log server has A LOT of file in /var/log - files for every host, multiple per day, spanning back years. We'd like to not relabel all of them on each update.

Try running restorecon on a massive dir with lots of files and time it. That's how long the yum process runs.

Thanks!

Backported fixfiles script from Fedora

Fixed in 
policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.31.el6

Add /var/log to  /etc/selinux/fixfiles_exclude_dirs should stop fixfiles and selinux-policy updates from looking at this directory.

Is this issue really fixed? I haven't found this in Changelog, man pages nor in git commits.
