I think I figured it out...

For /etc/fstab, the original line was:

LABEL=Ap1WD1 /md/Ap1WD1 ntfs-3g context="system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0" 0 0

And now should be:

LABEL=Ap1WD1 /md/Ap1WD1 ntfs-3g context=system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0,defaults 0 0


The difference is, adding ',defaults' to the end of the context option
is now required. Notice that quotes are not necessary, it makes no
difference, AFAIK

I am able to get the ntfs filesystems mounted and the selinux
context is correctly applied to the ntfs mounted filesystems.
