Why do you want to remove them - if selinux is enforcing (as it
should be in
an up to date version of Fedora ) then all files should have a
context and
your best security is when selinux is set up correctly to work with
your
system. In F10 selinux did have a number of tweaks needed to get it
going
but in F11 it is likely to need very few tweaks.

I'm glad you asked the question.
I have selinux disabled first and foremost.
However the context labels still exist on some files which cause a
problem doing dump/restore over NFS.
Let me explain;
While dump/restore works over NFS in general, they don't work with
selinux context so I keep getting errors like;
restore: ./etc/ysyconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: EA set
security.selinux:system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 failed: Operation not
supported.
And while the dump/restore works and the files get copied, this error
causes my incremental backs to work as full backups. Also, this
muddies my log files which i rely on. Image half the files on the
system kicking out this error.
Thanks in advance,
- Brian
