Yes it can. The mount point should be mnt_t so that it can have
something mounted on it, and then the filesystem that is mounted there
has a context type of mysqld_db_t at its top level so everything works
as normal. That is why I suggested unmounting the filesystem before
fixing the label, and then re-mounting it (as "service netfs start"
would do, emulating the boot process).
