The current ability to enforce the SELinux policy on the +Gluster Storage servers prevents setting the extended attribute for use on the +client side. The new translator converts the client-side SELinux extended +attribute to a Gluster internal representation (the `trusted.glusterfs.selinux` +extended attribute) to prevent problems. -**Limitations:** +This feature is intended to be the base for implementing Labelled-NFS in +NFS-Ganesha and SELinux support for FUSE mounts in the Linux kernel. -**Known Issues:** +**Limitations:** +- The Linux kernel does not support mounting of FUSE filesystems with SELinux + support, yet. +- NFS-Ganesha does not support Labelled-NFS, yet. + +**Known Issues:** +- There has been limited testing, because other projects can not consume the + functionality yet without being part of a release.
