Hi Doug,
The LABEL is referring to a filesystem label introduced some time ago. Essentially it allows you to label a disk parition. This is useful because once labeled you don't need to refer to the partition by diskname[part#] (ie. hda5).
That way if you add more disks and the device names switch it won't screw you up.
man e2label
