That seems to add complexity, relative to:

$ cat /etc/fstab | grep LABEL
LABEL=boot              /boot           ext2             
noauto,noatime  1 2
LABEL=/                 /               ext4             
noatime         0 1
LABEL=swap              none            swap             
sw              0 0
LABEL=space             /mnt/space      ext4             
noatime         0 3
$

I believe DeadRat may allow you to use labels in GRUB, too.

I find the thought horrifying. I choose servers like the PowerEdge  
because they have hardware RAID. LVM would seem, as a wild  
generalisation, to undermine that.

Stroller.
