So, what's > the current status of jffs2? It has full support for xattr now, right? Yes, all of functions we need to enable SELinux are available. In addition, you can enable POSIX ACL support on jffs2. # But, POSIX ACL consumes memory as much as Ext2/3, I think it's not # suitable for embedded. So, it should be fixed on 2.6.19. orz > Do the Infradead guys (jffs maintainers) know about this? Or it's > already merged in upstream? This achievement would not have been possible without collaborating with David Woodhouse and any other MTD peopel. The serious of patches are already merged into Linus's git-tree via MTD-tree and queued for 2.6.18 now. See, http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ChangeLog-2.6.18-rc1 > Are you using a special policy? Busybox modified? No, I installed a non-modified Nakamura's policy the small PDA, because I didn't have enough time for this. And, busybox is not modified by same reason. 'ps' is an exception. As it didn't work correctly, I installed a part of the procps package. > I think this could be a nice thing for the next symposium, say, Please recomend it to my boss. :) > prepare modified uClinux buildroot system, make it available so people > can build embedded systems with native support for SELinux.

What kind of modifications for uClibc is necessary, do you think? Because I don't have enough experimence on embedded region, any ideaes and collaborations are wellcome!
