A user on the Fedora users list reported that selinux relabelling

I can reproduce the problem in a F42 KDE aarch64 VM.
But it works fine on my x86_64 desktop, also F42 KDE.

Is there anything like this in dmesg? If the file was created with an
improper context (if selinux was completely disabled for instance) you
may see something like:
[    7.492519] audit: type=1400 audit(1754591921.507:4): avc:  denied
{ getattr } for  pid=682 comm="selinux-autorel" path="/.autorelabel"
dev="dm-0" ino=2370
scontext=system_u:system_r:selinux_autorelabel_generator_t:s0
tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0

No. All I see is this:

$ journalctl -g autorel -b 0
2025-08-08T09:21:01+01:00 systemd[1]: selinux-autorelabel-mark.service - Mark the need to relabel after reboot was skip>
$ journalctl -g autorel -b -1
2025-08-07T18:57:57+01:00 systemd[1]: selinux-autorelabel-mark.service - Mark the need to relabel after reboot was skip>

This are the selinux status
$ sestatus
SELinux status:                 enabled
SELinuxfs mount:                /sys/fs/selinux
SELinux root directory:         /etc/selinux
Loaded policy name:             targeted
Current mode:                   enforcing
Mode from config file:          enforcing
Policy MLS status:              enabled
Policy deny_unknown status:     allowed
Memory protection checking:     actual (secure)
Max kernel policy version:      34


You can reproduce this for yourself:
# touch /.autorelabel
# chcon -t unlabeled_t /.auto relabel

Rebooting you will get an avc and it won't relabel. Booting with
enforcing=0 on the kernel command line, or otherwise setting selinux
permissive, will allow it to relabel.

This does not seem to be the cause


I just did this on an orange pi 5 (aarch64) running Fedora 42 and it
relabeled fine, so I don't think anything is wrong/different with
Fedora 42 aarch64.

I got as far as finding the generator script that triggers
the relabelling.

How can I debug this script?

My guess is that the generator is running in a sandbox.
Where can I write a log file with /usr/bin/echo to?
Or is there a better way to log messages?

Any suggestions on how to get logs out of the script?
