- Hello -
I have a custom stacked filesystem and I was having difficulty with
security xattrs. I traced it back to missing:
fs_use_xattr myfs gen_context(system_u:object_r:fs_t,s0);
Which works nicely when I rebuild/reinstall the base policy. However
some experimentation and checking of old mailing posts seems to
indicate that it is not possible to achieve this in a policy module.
Because my FS is stacked I would be perfectly happy just to
inherit whatever the fs_use_xattr state of my lower filesystem is.
Is there a best practice for achieving this or do I need to always
rebuild the base policy?
Thank you for your time.

If you are able to use CIL then you might be able to do this:
echo '(fsuse xattr "myfs" (system_u object_r fs_t ((s0)(s0))))' > mytest.cil && sudo semodule -i mytest.cil
