The labels failed in the same way on every distro I tried: Fedora,
openSUSE (5.14.6-1.4.x86_64), Ubuntu (5.11.0-37-generic), and Gentoo
(5.14.8-gentoo-dist-hardened and 5.10.68-gentoo-dist-hardened).

I noticed that the labels appear correctly when the system is running
with SELinux disabled, but booting with it enabled results in
unlabeled_t labels on erofs mounts.

Thanks.
