Is it a correct specification that the security context is newly given to a file when its file is restored in rescue mode?
Issue
- We backed up a system whose SELinux is unavailable by dump command in rescue mode.
- And then, we restored the system to another partition by restore command in rescue mode.
- As a result, files which had never obtained security context got security context newly.
- Please answer the following questions.
1) Is this a specification?
2) Is there information changed except that the security context is given if it is a
specification?
