The problem is that the label has a max length (filesystem dependent, it's 15 chars for ext[23] iirc). So appending the UUID isn't really doable. Switching to mount by UUID instead of by label has been proposed a few times, but I find it to be a fairly disgusting thing to have to expose at all and thus have resisted the suggestion. Jeremy
