I leave the naming to > you. live is a bit too generic, in particular since probably the rootfs might have such a label in some setups. if we, as you impled, can unify the code so that snapshot and overlay is being deduced by live-boot from looking at the config file, then, we could use one label only. i suggest that to be 'persistence' (which coincidentally is exactely 11 characters :).
