||It is just another mount option, so you can just do something like:
||/dev/sda1 /AV ntfs 
|defaults,context=system_u:object_r:samba_share_t 1 2

Mounting an NTFS filesystem even with context options,
the context always remains as fusefs_t. I am allowed
to change the context on the directory before the mount,
but not after the mount. After mounting, I am not allowed
to chcon the mounted FS as it says that the Operation is
not allowed.

I even tried: setsebool -P samba_export_all_rw=1 and that
does not work, either.

If I setenforce 0, I can share the NTFS filesystem, but I
really do not want to do this.  Can someone please give me
a workaround?

Thanks-
