FC3 dump/restore

[Mike Carifio]

If I dump an ext3 file system for backup, will the file security 
attributes get saved?
Will they by restored by /restore? /Pl. advise. Thanks.

SELinux attributes are stored as Extended Attributes (EA).  It appears
that an FC3 update to dump added support for these:

* Mon Jan 31 2005 Jindrich Novy  0.4b39-1.FC3

- Updated to dump-0.4b39.
- Add patch for EA/ACL support.

Might be a bit half-baked still - just a few minutes before seeing this,
I opened a bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=149299

(Note - this is dump-0.4b39-1 in the Fedora -devel tree, and the changelog
differs from your -1.FC3)
