They are easier. Set smackfsroot=Rubble,smackfsdef=Rubble and all objects
there will get labeled Rubble. Processes with different labels that can
write there will end up creating Rubble objects. For privileged mounts you
can set the values at will. For unprivileged mounts, you should take the
label values from the backing store.
