I recently transferred the / partition on my CentOS server from a small disk to a large disk, using "rsync -auvz". This works fine, except that I get dozens of selinux warnings when I re-boot. I'm running selinux in permissive mode. Is there any way to make sure that all the files in a partition are kosher as far as selinux is concerned? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
