By the way, can mount point labels be applied to automounted file systems? If so, how would I do that? Would I put the label into the automount file (auto.*) in the /etc directory?
You can specify mount options in your automounter maps (like auto.master), so you should be able to specify a context= option there too. I haven't specifically tried it though.
I cannot get this to work in RHEL5. It complains if I have it in auto.master (syntax error), so I tried to place an entry in auto.misc (for /misc). It will mount, but not with the context that I specified. The logs mention that it is using genfs_contexts.
Looking at the mounts, I see that the options for the autofs mount point include: context=""
So, the options are not getting passed to the mount command, or are being overridden by automount. Any other ideas?
