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.
