 s/partition names/filesystem LABELs/  ... right?

I see few problems:

 * we really don't want do hardcode FS detection code to fdisk
   (there is libblkid or libvolume_id  -- see mount/fsprobe_*.c)

 * I don't think that we need to mix functionally -- I'd like to keep
   fdisk as simple as possible.


 Please, use blkid (from ex2fsprogs,) or "ls -l /dev/disk/by-label".

 It would be nice if mount(8) had a option to list all possible
 devices (according to /proc/partitions) with LABEL/UUID/FS type. We
 can add this to v2.14 TODO list.
