I find the most success by changing to runlevel 1 and then running
fixfiles --relabel
The problem would then be that you would need to setup the SELinux 
policies for SAMBA share again.

The bad "advice" given to correct your SELinux problem is probably worth 
reporting since using the / directory like suggested sounds like a major 
bug in terms of security and system functionality. It does not sound 
much like a feature to me.

Before running the program that I suggested, you probably want to run
setenforce 0
before running it to put SELinux in permissive mode. Running enforcing 
might not allow correction of the problem because of policy restrictions.
