    Today, on attempting resuming after suspending my system before
    boarding
    my plane.  My system hung.

    So I powered cycled, and since I have not done an update in over a
    week,
    instead of logging into my graphical window, I switched to Term2,
    logged
    in as root and ran "dnf update".

    I have done this a lot of times when I hung like this. Don't log into
    graphical window and then have all the apps start and still should
    do an
    update.

    So ~87 updates and a new kernel.  Big deal.  But it hangs on a
    scriptlet
    that looked like selinux-policy.


On recent updates here, the selinux update took quite a long time with no
signs of life -- patience was rewarded with a completed update.

I felt 45min was a bit much of waiting for Gedot.


    So I switch to Term3, log in as myself and run top.  I see restorecon
    eating up 96% cpu.  I wait 30min.  Still not done.

    I go to my Win10 system and google Fedora and restorecon eating up
    time.  Found bug 1832327 on F35!  The poster killed restorecon, so
    I did
    too.

    Obviously update finished.  I rebooted and logged in.

    Is there something I should do/check since I killed it?


"restorecon" has a "-n" (passive check) option

Just tried that and system came back immediately.  I checked /var/log/messages and nothing reported there from running it.
