If SELinux is disabled, then you should be able to do this: find / -exec setfattr -x security.selinux {} \; You might want to further qualify the find statement to avoid noise on filesystems that don't support security contexts, e.g. find / \( -fstype ext2 -o -fstype ext3 -o -fstype ext4 -o -fstype btrfs \) -exec setfattr -x security.selinux {} \; -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
