It is not possible yet to change the SELinux labels over FUSE. There are
some changes needed in Gluster to really support that, in the FUSE
kernel module and also in the SELinux part of the kernel. Possibly even
some selinux-policy changes...

Until then, you should be able to mount a Gluster volume with the
"context" option. This might work for you:

   # mount -t glusterfs \
        -o context="unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0" \
        storage.example.com:/website /var/www/html

Or, you can allow Apache to access FUSE filesystems with a boolean:

  # sebool httpd_use_fusefs on


The main bug that we use for tracking progress on different fronts is
currently https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1318100 . Maybe
some parts of this can be made available in GlusterfS 3.9 (September),
but it is likely that additional components (like kernel) need more
time.
