Re: Policy error of the day

Stephen: I've sorted out my upgrades so it's time to
get back to the selinux building...

I'm preparing a new kernel for the machine I build on
and have just hesitated over the enabling of xattr's
in the kernel config. I'm pretty sure the file system
won't be automatically affected, but I want to do
a "tell me three times on it" because I simply cannot
afford to make this machine unable to boot under
old kernels.

So, do all swear on a stack of bible and assorted other
holy or unholy books that booting a kernel with xattr ext2
support enabled will *NOT* touch an existing file system 
and make it unuseable in, say a 2.2 kernel?

I would be *most* upset if that were to happen.
