Not sure I understand the question. I have a little article called
FreeBSD Labeled Filesystems:

That's a good article, but it highlights what seem to be some deficiencies in
the various implementations. For the most part they seem ufs-centric,
although glabel shows some promise for supporting ext2fs and msdosfs (both of
which are workhorse file systems for me).
Multiple filesystems are supported, although the labels appear in
different places. See 'man glabel | less -p tunefs'. If your MS-DOS
or ext2fs filesystem is natively labeled, the system automatically
creates those labels in the appropriate directories in /dev.
In your article you point out another thing that seems sub-optimal to
me, different locations for different types of things which are all
referred to as labels.
It seemed spread out to me, too. But it hasn't been a problem, and I've
come to think of it as namespaces.
