I partitioned GPT, and formatted, as xfs, a large (3TB) drive on a CentOS 6 system, which has selinux in permissive mode. I then moved the drive to a CentOS 5 system. When we run a copy (it mirror-copies from another system), we get a ton of errors. I discovered that the CentOS 5 system was
enforcing.
I changed it to permissive, I labelled the directories and files w/
semanage,
did a restorecon, and even did a fixfiles, and *then* I tried
/.autorelabel and
rebooted, and we still get a ton of errors: Jun 1 17:01:32 <server>

Dan's recommendation to add context="system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0" to the mount options in fastab does indeed seem to have solve the problem. Thanks muchly, Dan.
