Isn't that just a filesystem label not a partition label?

If you do mean a partition label, can you elaborate as to what the
use case is and why a filesystem label doesn't work for it? I'm sure
there must be one, it's just I haven't personally encountered it.

(That's what I was asking Gene, which Gene now seems to have
clarified that he meant filesystem label)

Thanks,
Andy
