Filesystem labels suck.  I've had them break on single systems shortly 
after installation, therefore,
as part of my install process, I go through and 'fix' them to reflect 
the actual device/partition names
instead.  Filesystem labels should be dragged through the mud, by a wild 
horse, kicked in the nads,
and burned at the stake.
