| 39 | Security labels support alternative access control models |
| 40 | implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option |
| 41 | enables an extended attribute handler for file security |
| 42 | labels in the ext2 filesystem. |

| 45 | extended attributes for file security labels, say N. |
