 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinuxI think I figured=
 it out...For /etc/fstab, the original line was:LABEL=3DAp1WD1 /md/Ap1WD1=
 ntfs-3g context=3D"system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0" 0 0And now should=
 be:LABEL=3DAp1WD1 /md/Ap1WD1 ntfs-3g context=3Dsystem_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0,defaults=
 0 0The difference is, adding ',defaults' to the end of the context optionis=
 now required. Notice that quotes are not necessary, it makes nodifference,=
 AFAIKI am able to get the ntfs filesystems mounted and the selinuxcontext=
 is correctly applied to the ntfs mounted filesystems.-- users mailing listusers at lists.fedoraproject.orgTo=
