If I dump an ext3 file system for backup, will the file security attributes get saved? Will they by restored by /restore? /Pl. advise. Thanks.
SELinux attributes are stored as Extended Attributes (EA). It appears that an FC3 update to dump added support for these:
- Mon Jan 31 2005 Jindrich Novy jnovy@redhat.com 0.4b39-1.FC3
- Updated to dump-0.4b39.
- Add patch for EA/ACL support.
Might be a bit half-baked still - just a few minutes before seeing this, I opened a bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=149299
(Note - this is dump-0.4b39-1 in the Fedora -devel tree, and the changelog differs from your -1.FC3)
