|Can you confirm that if you umount /AV and then mount it with the

Yes, I can confirm that adding context= to the option line
in /etc/fstab does not seem to do anything, i.e. the context
does not change and remains fusefs_t.  I tried several times,
and even tried the fscontext= as well, neither seems to work.

I was forced to reboot sometimes since I was not at times
able to unmount the /AV filesystem, it sometimes reports
that the /AV filesystem was 'busy'.  This seems to happen
if I mount/unmount several times then it says 'busy',
preventing me from unmounting. Hmm.

|You can certainly generate a local policy module that gives access to

I will try anything you suggest.  Let me know if you can
resolve this issue, otherwise let me know (in detail) how
to write a policy as a last resort?

Thanks much!
