If you just want to prevent automatic relabeling from touching that tree
at all, just add a "<<none>>" entry for it to file_contexts, e.g.
semanage fcontext -a -t "<<none>>" "/srv/homes(/.*)?"
Excellent! That seems to work perfectly - though I prefer to use a local
policy module rather than semanage for these things:
localmisc.fc:
...
# Don't touch stuff here
/srv/homes(/.*)? <<none>>
...
