And it makes it so much fun when your mobo blows up and you try to move
the system drive to another working system, only to find that nothing
will boot because the labels (e.g. '/usr', '/home', etc.) are all
duplicated.
Wouldn't it be a better default policy to make the default labels be
somewhat unique? Say, 1 letter from the mfgr + 2-3 digits from the
serial# -> "W23:/home".
How is this handled for portable drives? Aren't duplicate labels a
problem there?
