The file system must support xattr labels in the right security.* namespace. In addition to ext2/ext3, XFS has recently added support for the necessary labels. Note that XFS SELinux support is broken in upstream kernel 2.6.14 and 2.6.15, but fixed (worked around) in 2.6.16. Your kernel must include this fix if you choose to use XFS with SELinux.
