DESCRIPTION
This manual page describes the fixfiles script.
This script is primarily used to correct the security context database (extended
attributes) on filesystems.
It can also be run at any time to relabel when adding support for new policy, or just
check whether the file contexts are all as you expect. By default it will relabel all
mounted ext2, ext3, xfs and jfs file systems as long as they do not have a security con-
text mount option. You can use the -R flag to use rpmpackages as an alternative.
OPTIONS
-l logfile
Save the output to the specified logfile
-o outputfile
Save all files that have file_context that differs from the default, in outputfile.
-F Force reset of context to match file_context for customizable files
-f Clear /tmp directory with out prompt for removal.
-R rpmpackagename[,rpmpackagename...]
Use the rpm database to discover all files within the specified packages and
restore the file contexts. (-a will get all files in the RPM database).
-C PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT
Run a diff on the PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT file to the currently installed one, and
restore the context of all affected files.
