I was just about to make a similar reply. The only time a file system's
UUID changes is if you destroy and recreate the file system, or go out
of your way to change the UUID through some file-system-specific tool
like xfs_admin -U uuid.
But, labels are great. If you like using labels, that's fantastic. Keep
doing that.
