Do we really need separate names for partition labels vs. filesystem labels? We already have partition UUIDs with LVM and MD RAID, so why add separate names for them? They are supposed to be unique already, so mount should be able to find the same partition regardless of whether the source is a partition UUID/LABEL vs. a filesystem label? It just makes things more confusing for users, IMHO.
