Re: [Libguestfs] virt-copy-in - how do I get the selinux relabeling done for the file?

That requires an extra launch of the appliance, so if you were very concerned about doing this most efficiently then you could do something like this instead: guestfish -a disk.img -i <<EOF copy-in files [...] /target/dir selinux-relabel /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts / force:true EOF That isn't quite the same as the virt-customize code above, and in particular it assumes that you're using the "targeted" policy and you don't have the buggy version of RHEL 6, but it's near enough for most purposes. If you want to do any better you'd need to write a custom script in Python or whatever.
