Today, on attempting resuming after suspending my system before boarding
my plane.  My system hung.

So I powered cycled, and since I have not done an update in over a week,
instead of logging into my graphical window, I switched to Term2, logged
in as root and ran "dnf update".

I have done this a lot of times when I hung like this.  Don't log into
graphical window and then have all the apps start and still should do an
update.

So ~87 updates and a new kernel.  Big deal.  But it hangs on a scriptlet
that looked like selinux-policy.

On recent updates here, the selinux update took quite a long time with no
signs of life -- patience was rewarded with a completed update.

I felt 45min was a bit much of waiting for Gedot.

 

So I switch to Term3, log in as myself and run top.  I see restorecon
eating up 96% cpu.  I wait 30min.  Still not done.

I go to my Win10 system and google Fedora and restorecon eating up
time.  Found bug 1832327 on F35!  The poster killed restorecon, so I did
too.

Obviously update finished.  I rebooted and logged in.

Is there something I should do/check since I killed it?

"restorecon" has a "-n" (passive check) option

Just tried that and system came back immediately.  I checked /var/log/messages and nothing reported there from running it.
