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...

BTW, I'm not sure what you mean by the above. setfiles does accept a -r
option to specify an alternate root path, so you can apply it to a
chroot setup without running it chroot'd itself. But without that
option, I wouldn't have expected it to touch /mnt at all, especially as
file_contexts marks it <<none>>.
First, thanks for the explanation.
My comment regarding 'real' vs. 'chroot-ed' pathnames was just my feeble poke at explaning what was going on. I had noticed the entry for /mnt in file_contexts, and concluded that 1+1=3. ;)
