fixfiles [-v] [-F] [-T nthreads] { check | restore | verify } dir/file
...
fixfiles [-v] [-F] [-B | -N time ] [-T nthreads] { check | restore |
verify }
fixfiles [-v] [-F] [-T nthreads] -R rpmpackagename[,rpmpackagename...]
{ check | restore | verify }
fixfiles [-v] [-F] [-T nthreads] -C PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT { check | re-
store | verify }
fixfiles [-F] [-M] [-B] [-T nthreads] onboot
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, ext4, gfs2, xfs, jfs
and btrfs file systems as long as they do not have a security context
mount option. You can use the -R flag to use rpmpackages as an alter-
native. The file /etc/selinux/fixfiles_exclude_dirs can contain a list
of directories excluded from relabeling.
fixfiles onboot will setup the machine to relabel on the next reboot.
OPTIONS
-B If specified with onboot, this fixfiles will record the current
date in the /.autorelabel file, so that it can be used later to
speed up labeling. If used with restore, the restore will only
affect files that were modified today.
-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.
-C PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT
Run a diff on the PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT file to the currently
installed one, and restore the context of all affected files.
-N time
Only act on files created after the specified date. Date must
be specified in "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM" format. Date field will be
passed to find --newermt command.
-M Bind mount filesystems before relabeling them, this allows fix-
ing the context of files or directories that have been mounted
over.
-v Modify verbosity from progress to verbose. (Run restorecon with
-v instead of -p)
-T nthreads
Use parallel relabeling, see setfiles(8)
ARGUMENTS
One of:
check | verify
print any incorrect file context labels, showing old and new
context, but do not change them.
restore
change any incorrect file context labels.
relabel
Prompt for removal of contents of /tmp directory and then change
any incorrect file context labels to match the install file_con-
texts file.
[[dir/file] ... ]
List of files or directories trees that you wish to check file
context on.
