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.
