Hi sunil,
Thats exactly right. It is always better to have your disks using labelling partition rather than the /dev/sda style. The main advantage would be in case you are trying to take an image of the hardisk and loading it to another machine. Here the labelling will work, becoz the disk ids tend to change. Initially when you install ur system during the disk partitioning setup just edit the partiton setup to have all partitions use the label names. Its quite easy.
