The Fedora guys were doing the LABEL= strategy for the last 4 years or
so with fstab. It works pretty well if you are using ext3 (which most
people are). It won't work with swap partitions though.
I've personally become a big fan of the UUID= fstab that Ubuntu
autogenerates. That makes life a lot easier when you flip drives
around.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
