[PATCH 2/2] SELinux: add rootcontext= option to label root inodewhen mounting

From: James Morris
Date: Wed Jul 05 2006 - 19:32:09 EST


From: Eric Paris <eparis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The second patch will introduce a new rootcontext= option to FS mounting.
This option will allow you to explicitly label the root inode of a FS
being mounted before that FS or inode because visable to userspace. This
was found to be useful for things like stateless linux, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=190001
