Allow setting selinux xattrs when creating a filesystem from a tar

Open frankdavid opened this issue 1 month ago • 0 comments

I noticed that the implementation for creating a filesystem from a tar limits file xattrs to "security.capability" and "gnu.translator" (source).

Is there a particular reason for limiting which xattrs are allowed? If we need this limiting, could we support security.selinux, too?
