Hi, I made some tar archives with --selinux on centos5, which does not seem to have MLS enabled, so files have no selinux range (the :s0 part at the end) in the security context. Trying to restore these archives on centos7, which does have MLS enabled, errors:
tar-1.30: setfileconat: Cannot set SELinux context 'system_u:object_r:mailman_data_t' for file 'data': Invalid argument (I modified the error for my tar 1.30 build to display the security_context_t in the error statement here.) It makes these archives basically broken, whereas I think tar could have a parameter like --selinux-range=s0 and append it before calling setfileconat()...I could make this patch if people are interested. Thanks, Chris
