Can I use SELinux with my network filesystems?

Yes, SELinux can mount network filesystems, such as NFS and CIFS filesystems, with an important caveat. All files in each filesystem will have the same SELinux type, since the filesystems do not support extended attributes. In the future, hopefully network filesystems will begin to support extended attributes, then they will work like a primary filesystem. 3.d.
