Well, my Kubuntu system runs 2.6.20 and havs everything as sdX (when it
was hdX before), and my Debian system runs 2.6.18 and still has hdX,
some somewhere in-between.
Problem with labels is if the label is not set at format time, what
should the system set the label as? Some random string? Label is not a
required setting when you format the partition.
