I have several versions of root distro partitions of which I do

What I would like to know is, if I do an /.autorelabel,
for one boot/root partition, does this mean that every
mounted filesystem that appears in /etc/fstab also gets
relabeled? If so, this is not what I want especially if
other root distro partitions are being mounted for example,
say: /md/{distro1, distro2, ...}
So, How do I get around this? I could comment out
all entries in /etc/fstab except / and /boot (plus the
required entries), touch /.autorelabel, reboot, and once
relabeling is completed, then add back in the commented
out fstab entries, then issue a mount -a. Could I add an option
entry say: NO_RELABEL to certain fstab entries?
Since I was introduced to the /media since F9, I never could
figure out how to add mounted "media" filesystems, which
is why I added them instead to fstab.
How do I solve this issue?
I create a local policy module for this sort of thing, with a file
contexts entry like this:
# Don't touch stuff here
/srv/homes(/.*)? <<none>>
So you could have:
::::::::::::::
otherdistros.fc
::::::::::::::
/md/distro1(/.*)? <<none>>
/md/distro2(/.*)? <<none>>
::::::::::::::
otherdistros.te
::::::::::::::
policy_module(otherdistros, 0.0.1)
Building and installing that module should do the trick.
