When relabelling a new OS snapshot this commits sets a force relabelling for all immutable parts and a non forced relabelling for RW and snapshotted paths (e.g. /etc). These are also a new snapshot hence there is no risk of interfering with the running system. Shared persistent volumes (e.g. /var) are excluded from this relabelling as they could be already in use by some other process in the running system. Signed-off-by: David Cassany <dcassany@suse.com>
