I never use labels. That explains it. In my case I almost universially use raid and lvm and both of those use UUIDs internally. Meaning that although I never specify those long uuids anywhere I get the benefit of them along with short device names by default. Which is better than a label. But I wanted to say that I wasn't against labels so much as being for raid and lvm. Bob
