FC3, selinux filesystem?


A bud of mine decided to give FC3 a try, and was about to make space in his HD and do some partitions when he asked me something that got me clueless. He was wondering what filesystem to use for his root stuff (as in FC3 only using a boot and a root) and he said hed read somewhere that selinux only works in some filesystems. Is this true? If so, which ones?
Thanx for any answers

Hello,

If your friend is just 'trying out' FC3, he maybe should go for ext3 which has great error recovery and boots fast after system crash.

My partitions look like this for my boot disk:
Code:
$ mount
/dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
Boot is small 100MB partition, dunno if it's anymore needed nowadays. hda3 is 160GB partition.

Also there is swap partition which is quite necessary:
Code:
$ swapon -s
/dev/hda2                               partition       522104  11248   -1
As you can already figure, whole hard disk is used for FC3. I don't have any experience with partitioning schemes if there is another OS in same hard disk... as I haven't needed that for a while. ;-)

I haven't personally tried out any SELinux-stuff, but maybe this FAQ gives you some answers:
