Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

differences between setfiles and restorecon? repeat of old thread? |
Running targeted/enforcing, latest rawhide.
I created a 'backup' of my root lvm2 partition, mounted the new partition as /mnt, and copied the files via 'cp -dpR / /mnt'.
The copied files were all incorrectly labeled. (same result with cp --preserve=all').
I tried 'chroot /mnt; restorcon -v -R /', but it had no effect (returned immediately), as did any other resorecon attempted in the chroot'ed shell.
'setfiles -v /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts /' did the right thing.
[Its almost as if restorecon is using the 'real' full pathname (with leading /mnt), and setfiles is using the 'chroot'ed' pathname (without the leading /mnt).]
First, should the 'preserve' on cp have failed to copy the contexts? Second, why the difference in behavior between setfiles and restorecon in this context?
Still curious,
tom
