------- Comment #2 from matt at mattmccutchen.net  2009-09-05 14:38 CST -------
Ignore the remark in comment #0.  The issue is that SELinux won't allow any
process to remove the "security.selinux" attribute, so perhaps rsync should not
try.  OTOH, if SELinux is disabled, removing the attribute might be a useful
thing to do.  One option would be to block this on bug 4573 and require the
user to specify --xattr-filter='P security.selinux' when desired.
