[Pvfs2-users] xattr selinux handler

Not a high priority request, but are there any plans for supporting 
security modules (i.e. SELinux) in the PVFS2 xattr support?

See http://lwn.net/Articles/29397/ for the example patch to ext2 and 
ext3 xattr handling. Seems like a relatively small patch for someone who 
knew what they were doing :-)

At the moment I have to alter every client machine default selinux 
policy to permit mounting pvfs2 by startup scripts or use "mountpoint" 
labelling...

Thanks,
Simon
