Hi Charl, Sorry for the very late response. Thanks for mentioning clearly on what was the issue. As you have mentioned, from gluster-3.6+ versions, though selinux option is there, you are thrown an error, "Invalid option: context". It happens when you try to set context while mounting, which was done unintentionally. We have filed bug against mainline[1](for which the patch/fix is merged in master) and have backported the same to 3.7[2] and 3.6[3] as well. We are planning to get it fixed with the next minor updates in the coming releases. With the fix, you will able to set selinux context while mounting.

Is the removal of this functionality intentional? There's unfortunately very little documentation available on SELinux support in Gluster.
