--- Comment #3 from Niels de Vos <ndevos at redhat.com> ---
Not that this bug depends on #1318100. Until that is resolved, Gluster will not
be able to change the SELinux labels. The standard SELinux mount options to set
specific labels for the whole mounted Gluster volume can be used (like
"context", see #1287877 and http://review.gluster.org/12870).

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1318100#c1 also contains some more
details, and points to a discussion on the mailinglist:

> At the moment it is not possible to set the SELinux context on a mounted
> Gluster Volume. We intend to have this functionality added to the Gluster core,
> and from there on add support to additional layers (FUSE, Labelled NFS, ...).
> 
> More details are listed in a conversation on the Gluster developers list:
>   http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.gluster.devel/13071e

This is not something that we'll be able to backport to 3.7 or 3.8. We might be
able to get initial support in GlusterFS 3.9. Changes to the kernel to support
SELinux over FUSE might not be ready by that time though.

I'm closing this as DEFERRED, because SELinux support on Gluster volumes will
not happen in 3.7.
