By bind mounting every filesystem we want to relabel we can access all files without anything hidden due to active mounts. This comes at the cost of user experience, because setfiles only displays the percentage if no path is given or the path is / Signed-off-by: Jonathan Hettwer <j2468h@gmail.com> Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <stephen.smalley.work@gmail.com>

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
This manual page describes the
|
|
.BR fixfiles
|
|
script.
|
|
.P
|
|
This script is primarily used to correct the security context
|
|
database (extended attributes) on filesystems.
|
|
.P
|
|
It can also be run at any time to relabel when adding support for
|
|
new policy, or just check whether the file contexts are all
|
|
as you expect. By default it will relabel all mounted ext2, ext3, xfs and
|
|
jfs file systems as long as they do not have a security context mount
|
|
option. You can use the \-R flag to use rpmpackages as an alternative.
|
|
The file /etc/selinux/fixfiles_exclude_dirs can contain a list of directories
|
|
excluded from relabeling.
|
|
.P
|
|
.B fixfiles onboot
|
|
will setup the machine to relabel on the next reboot.
|
|
|
|
.SH "OPTIONS"
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-B
|
|
If specified with onboot, this fixfiles will record the current date in the /.autorelabel file, so that it can be used later to speed up labeling. If used with restore, the restore will only affect files that were modified today.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-F
|
|
Force reset of context to match file_context for customizable files
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-f
|
|
Clear /tmp directory with out prompt for removal.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-R rpmpackagename[,rpmpackagename...]
|
|
Use the rpm database to discover all files within the specified packages and restore the file contexts.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-C PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT
|
|
Run a diff on the PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT file to the currently installed one, and restore the context of all affected files.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-N time
|
|
Only act on files created after the specified date. Date must be specified in
|
|
"YYYY\-MM\-DD HH:MM" format. Date field will be passed to find \-\-newermt command.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-M
|
|
Bind mount filesystems before relabeling them, this allows fixing the context of files or directories that have been mounted over.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -v
|
|
Modify verbosity from progress to verbose. (Run restorecon with \-v instead of \-p)
|
|
|
|
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
