    No, that is just not true. You can stop root from doing things without a reboot with SELinux but encrypting something with a password root does not know actually does stop them from doing it at all short of a brute force attack on the encryption.

      That’s true - you can often recover a bad ACL. I was thinking more of the “niche use case” where separating duties and restricting root are concerned.
