I have no idea why it would have done this. There is an algorithm
that
does a diff between the previous file context and the new and then
relabels the difference.
That's more or less what I thought.
This could trigger a relabel of /usr or /var. The relabel should
figure out you are on a NFS share and bale out.
Are there lots of files on a file system other then an NFS share?
There are a fair number - find / | wc -l has been running for more than
five minutes now. One thing that is on this system are backups of /etc
from all 170+ servers and workstations, as well as of some home
directories....
But none of our other servers did that, and some include backup of home
directories.
