Any reference. You see, I find label a very slippery word.
You can label a disk at almost every level: a sticky label,
a disklabel (partition table), a filesystem label, a volume label
(perhaps those two are equivalent), and whatever is handled by
devlabel (which might be historic).

So I'm unsure what you mean by a partition label, where it's
stored, and how it differs from a filesystem label.
Is it new-fangled?

Cheers,
David.
