Folks,
I updated a CentOS system yesterday from 6.2 to 6.3. I saw it update
selinux-policy-targeted (I think it was) and several hours later, it still
hadn't gotten to the next package; looking, it appeared to be running a
restorecon. I killed it, and redid the update.
For other reasons, it didn't reboot. I brought it up under the most recent
previous kernel, it did an fsck on a 2T drive... then it's been running
autorelabel for at least an hour and a half, and I have no idea how much
longer it will be. It's longer than fsck.
This is a backup server, which uses hardlinks to save space.
You may not consider this a bug, but it certainly makes selinux close to
unusable in anything resembling a working environment.

If you have a volume with a huge number of files on it, you could mount it
with a context option and this will prevent restorecon from entering the
volume for relabel. Otherwise an autorelabel will attempt to read the context
on ever file on the computer and "fix" it.
