Would you mind explaining which filesystem types do you plan to allow? SELinux and the rest of Linux S&M bunch do fuck-all for attacks via handcrafted fs image fed to the code in fs driver that does not expect a given kind of inconsistencies.
As it is, validation of on-disk metadata is not particularly strong; what's more, protection against concurrent malicious *changes* of fs image (via direct writes by root) is simply inexistent.
So what is that about?
