I created the archive using the -xattr and -Hexustar options. With my system up, I can restore it to a different directory and the files are correctly labeled. However, booted into the FC5 rescue mode, I get the following message for every file: star: Can not setup security context for 'testfile'. Not created. The files end up looking like this afterwards: # ls -lZ -rw-r--r-- root root system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t testfile So, it looks as if using dump/restore or "star", I have the same inability to preserve security context. This is a practical problem for me since I am wanting to recreate my partitions using an LVM. Anyone have any other ideas? Thanks for all the help so far!!! ---Kayvan -- Kayvan A.
