Just commenting on the selinux part, this entire list of filesystem
types could likely be removed and replaced by just running "fixfiles
relabel" instead, which on modern kernels (>= 2.6.30) will check for
the "seclabel" option in /proc/self/mounts entries to determine which
filesystems support security labeling.
