You should be able to see any labels the kernel knows about with 'glabel 
status', but my experience is that not all labels show up.  You can
check ext2/3 labels with e2label from the e2fsprogs port/package.  My
experience is that labels in /etc/fstab work fine, but they may or may
not be visible in /dev or with glabel if they are not in fstab.
