What is a good, and working alternative for NFS in term of SE label?
There isn't any unless you want to start a labeled cifs project. We looked at CIFS and NFSv4 back when I started this project and from what we saw NFS had the more open community. There are other solutions but they are not ideal. I believe someone did SELinux labels on network attached storage by treating the NAS as an iSCSI device. This isn't ideal because it has concurrency issues. Someone proposed xattr for NFSv4/NFSv3 support and that was shot down as well (and for good reason). I don't share Casey's skepticism about the long term importance of NFS. I think with NFSv4 and all the work that has gone into it we'll see NFS being important in Linux and enterprises for a very long time to come.
