Is all (selinux) attributes really copied? No. You need cp --preserve=all to preserve SELinux attributes (or at least --preserve=context). BTW, setfiles has an alternate root path option (-r /path/to/altroot) that can be used to label a filesystem under a different root, which can be helpful when constructing a root filesystem separate from the operational one. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency
