I recently transferred the / partition on my CentOS server from a small disk to a large disk, using "rsync -auvz".
This works fine, except that I get dozens of selinux warnings when I re-boot. I'm running selinux in permissive mode.
Is there any way to make sure that all the files in a partition are kosher as far as selinux is concerned?

Try: restorecon -Rv /partition
Expect it to take a while.

I would use dump | restore for that, on a file system by file system basis. rsync won't maintain inodes or permissions very well, and certainly won't handle selinux extended attributes

doesn't rsync -X do that?

touch /.autorelabel reboot
That should fix it.
