Description Tomasz Fortuna 2004-12-05 03:47:20 UTC
It would be nice if someone (I will try doing it, but i don't know if I can...) prepare ebuild/gentoo patches for kernel 2.6.9 (or maybe 6.8?). And insert it as masked or unstable ebuild into portage.
  There is also information in gentoo doc:
Warning: SELinux is only supported on ext2/3 and XFS. Other filesystems lack the complete extended attribute support. This should change in the future.
(http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/selinux/selinux-x86-handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1)
Which is not very true. I've almost move my system from reiser to xfs, however i found selinux in reiserfs in newer kernels.
  Am I somewhere wrong?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
No reiser extended attributes in kernel

Expected Results:  
Have those. ;)

the kernels say xattr support, but the selinux-specific support is broken, resulting in deadlocks.  Even 2.6.10 still has broken reiserfs support.  Please wait till reiserfs support is announced.
