While the default's bad, your own names can be much more descriptive.

e.g. A label of "mainboot" for the boot partition on your main drive.

No it doesn't.  Something like "/dev/hda3" would (the first IDE drive,
third partition).  But "/dev/sda3" requires you to know which drive the
computer considers is the first drive, at the moment.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
