I just ran into this with RedHat 7.  amanda found two out of three
filesystems.  The fstab contains

  LABEL=/                 /                       ext2    defaults        1 1
  LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext2    defaults        1 2
  /dev/sdb1               /home                   ext2    defaults        2 2

The first two line were created automatically during RedHat 7 installation.
The third line was created by hand.  I guess the LABEL= notation is to allow
moving disks or filesystems around and still have them found and mounted at
boottime.
