DO NOT REPLY [Bug 6312] New: rsync -X does not preserve SELinux context
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6312
Summary: rsync -X does not preserve SELinux context
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.5
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
ReportedBy: mstuff@read.org.nz
QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org
Source
$ uname -r
2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686
$ rpm -q rsync
rsync-3.0.5-1.fc10.i386
Target
# uname -r
2.6.26.8-57.fc8
# rpm -q rsync
rsync-2.6.9-5.fc8
Description is the same as:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5356
I would have re-opened that if I could have, but a new bug gives the
opportunity to provide a better Summary, same as:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458014
Re the reason for closing bug 5356:
I don't see "that the "lsetxattr"
failure is caused by a fundamental change in the file system data structures
implementing extended SELinux file attributes between Linux kernels" 2.6.26
and
2.6.27, which seems the implication of the reason for closing the bug.

The above has been refuted at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458014#c4 :> You have to understand that SELinux labels are not defined in the kernel,
but
> *loaded* in the kernel at startup sourcing from the policy files.
I.e., this is most likely caused by an incompatibility in the SELinux policy
and is no fault of rsync, just like bug 5356. Please reopen if you have
evidence to the contrary.
