It's filesystems that can be "Label"ed ... and not partitions(and not all
filesystems acan be labeled (IIRC Reiserfs doesn't support it)) ...
personally I think RH's way of using the labels in fstab is dumb.. it
might make the fstab look less geeky ... but what happens if you install
two distros of linux on the same hard disk ?? and you get two filesystems
with the same "label" ??
