I'm trying to upgrade the configuration of some web services, already using the MAC subsystem, to use ZFS instead of UFS, but I see that ZFS doesn't support MAC labels, even for a whole filesystem, which would be fine for me, I don't need multilabel support.

Any ideas? Have I missed anything?

Hmmm. Sounds like a bug -- all file systems should be able to operate in single-label mode, even if they don't support EAs and multilabel mode. Could you describe the symptoms you're experiencing in a bit more detail?

Indeed I can :) Sorry for the delay, a human nose-irritating virus, for which no known AV software exists, apart from patience, has kept me a bit parked this weekend :)

I can read the MAC label from a ZFS dataset, but cannot change it. Example follows:

# zfs create pool/test

(indeed I can read the default label applied when creating it)
# getfmac pool/test
pool/test: biba/high,mls/low

(but I cannot change it)
# setfmac biba/equal,mls/equal /pool/test
setfmac: labeling not supported in /pool/test

(just in case it's a confusion because of being under "/pool", I try changing the mountpoint, still no success)

# mkdir /testing
# zfs set mountpoint=/testing pool/test
# setfmac biba/equal,mls/equal /testing
setfmac: labeling not supported in /testing

This is a 7.1.RELEASE-p2 system.

Thank you very much,







Borja.
