fixfiles(8) -- Linux man page
NAME
fixfiles - fix file security contexts.
SYNOPSIS
fixfiles [ -R rpmpackagename[,rpmpackagename...] ] [check | restore | [-F] relabel]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page describes the
fixfiles
script.
This script is primarily used to correct the security context
database (extended attributes) on filesystems.
It can also be run at any time to relabel when adding support for
new policy, or just check whether the file contexts are all
as you expect. By default it will relabel all mounted ext2, ext3, xfs and
reiser file systems as long as they do not have a security context mount
option. You can use the -R flag to use rpmpackages as an alternative.
