## SELinux and Data Movement
97+
98+
Careful consideration must be taken when enabling SELinux on compute nodes. Doing so will result in
99+
SELinux Extended File Attributes (xattrs) being placed on files created by applications running on
100+
the compute node, which may not be supported by the destination file system (e.g. Lustre).
101+
102+
Depending on the configuration of `dcp`, there may be an attempt to copy these xattrs. You may need
103+
to disable this by using `dcp --xattrs none` to avoid errors. For example, the `command` in the
104+
`nnf-dm-config` config map or `dcpOptions` in the [DataMovementCreateRequest
105+
API](copy-offload-api.html#datamovement.DataMovementCreateRequest) could be used to set this
106+
option.
107+
108+
See the [`dcp` documentation](https://mpifileutils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dcp.1.html) for more
109+
information.
