fixfiles

Fix file SELinux security contexts. More information: https://manned.org/fixfiles.
  • 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:
    fixfiles -B
  • [F]orce reset of context to match file_context for customizable files:
    fixfiles -F
  • Clear /tmp directory without confirmation:
    fixfiles -f
  • Use the [R]pm database to discover all files within specific packages and restore the file contexts:
    fixfiles -R {{rpm_package1,rpm_package2 ...}}
  • Run a diff on the PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT file to the [C]urrently installed one, and restore the context of all affected files:
    fixfiles -C PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT
  • Only act on files created after a specific date which will be passed to find --newermt command:
    fixfiles -N {{YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM}}
  • Bind [M]ount filesystems before relabeling them, this allows fixing the context of files or directories that have been mounted over:
    fixfiles -M
  • Modify [v]erbosity from progress to verbose and run restorecon with -v instead of -p:
    fixfiles -v
