Subject: [RFC: 2.6 patch] make the *FS_SECURITY options no longer user	visible
Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2007 17:02:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070729150209.GS16817@stusta.de> (raw)

Please correct me if any of the following assumptions is wrong:
- SELinux is currently the only user of filesystem security labels
  shipped with the Linux kernel
- if a user has SELinux enabled he wants his filesystems to support
  security labels

Based on these assumption, it doesn't make sense to have the
*FS_SECURITY user visible since we can perfectly determine automatically 
when turning them on makes sense.
