No, it doesn't work for reiserfs but works for ext2. I'm not sure if it's
supported in mkfs but I checked the man pages and it's silent about the
issue.
I used the old and reliable format and everything's working AOK. Thanks.

Does your setup work properly? I am not sure if ReiserFS, JFS, and XFS
already
support mounting filesystems using their labels. I'm sure ext2 supports it.
You
can define a label for filesystems that support it (I think this is done
during
mkfs), and as long as mount and the filesystem work properly with labels,
mount
a filesystem using this instead of its physical location via your /dev
files.
It looks like RedHat 7.1 has decided to standardize on mounting filesystems
using labels instead of the /dev/hdxy links. Oh well...
