It's a good idea to put the (a) hostname (or similar) in labels (and LVM
VG names) to help avoid clashes if/when you put HDDs from two systems on
the same host (or the virtual equivalent of, such as accessing a guest's
VGs from the host machine for diagnostics.) E.g. "ubik_vga" is my SSD's
volume group name, for machine hostname "ubik".
