I believe partitions can be labelled. The new RedHat versions use LABELS to refer to partitions instead of /dev/sda1 and things like that. What it helps in is that if your hard disk crashes you just format another hard disk - transfer the data, label them approriately and plug it is - no need of changing configurations anywhere.
