I need to upgrade a server running an old Fedora version. The new OS will be CentOS 5 64bit.
I want to put /var/lib/cyrus and /var/spool/cyrus (all the variable files for the Cyrus IMAP server) on the same partition like /home - this way, all the "user-related stuff", home pages and email, stays on one partition.
The problem is SELinux. On Fedora, I had to customize the SELinux attributes so that SELinux would grant the Cyrus processes access to the Cyrus stuff in /home But, after doing a relabel of the whole disk, the custom attributes were wiped out. I want to avoid that on CentOS 5.
So, I need to tell SELinux "hey, this stuff under /home/foobar/spool/cyrus is just like /var/spool/cyrus, don't relabel it to something else". How do I achieve that?
