Yes it is telling you about a double equivalence. systemd guys have
suggested that we reverse the equivalence. since /var/run does not really
exist anymore, they suggested we move to /var/run -> /run rather then what
we currently have /run -> /var/run. My concern with this switch would be
if users/package developers had already added file context for /var/run
So I tried this to work around the 'one-level equivalence detection':
[root@tlondon ~]# mount --bind /run/media/tbl/Backup1TB/X200/ /mnt
[root@tlondon ~]# semanage fcontext -a -t root_t /mnt [root@tlondon ~]#
semanage fcontext -a -e / /mnt [root@tlondon ~]# restorecon -v -R /mnt
restorecon reset /mnt context

I checked a few relabelled files, and the contexts seem correct, for
example: restorecon reset /mnt/usr/share/jetty/bin/jetty.sh context
staff_u:object_r:bin_t:s0->staff_u:object_r:httpd_exec_t:s0
I should have used something other than '/mnt', of course. And since the
drive is not persistently mounted, I'm thinking of wrapping the 'rsync'
command with 'semanage' commands that temporarily add/delete the mappings.
Am I correct in assuming that the way to do this is (presuming bind mount
the mounted path to '/backup'):
semanage fcontext -a -t root_t /backup semanage fcontext -a -e / /backup
rsync ..... lots of options
semanage fcontext -d -e / /backup semanage fcontext -d -t root_t /backup
That seem right?
Thanks! tom
I would figure
/backup/run/blah or /backup/usr/lib64 might be labeled differently then /run
and /usr/lib64.
Since only one substitution would happen. You would really need to do all of
the substitutions again.
/backup/run == /var/run
/backup/usr/lib64 == /usr/lib
