Description

glabel.8: Describe cases related to permissions / existing mounts

Specially, note some requirements for label changes:

  • glabel requires write permission on device
  • filesystems first need to be unmounted for new labels to persist across reboots
  • if the affected device node holds the filesystem root, single-user mode with r/o mount will be required.

Also, while here, apply some formatting tweaks.
