I am still trying to get this to work.  The e2label seems to work but I cannot 
mount the device, and the system will not boot with the specified /etc/fstab.

# /sbin/e2label /dev/sdb5 usbdisk2

/etc/fstab:
LABEL=/usbdisk2         /usbdisk2               ext2    noauto,user,rw  1 2
#/dev/sdb5  /media/usbdisk2  ext2  user,suid,dev,exec,noauto  0  0

# mount /usbdisk2
mount: special device LABEL=/usbdisk2 does not exist
