Release notes text added:
== Upgrades from beta use LABEL in /etc/fstab ==
Systems installed using Jaunty Alpha 5, Jaunty Alpha 6, or the Ubuntu
9.04 beta may use `LABEL=` syntax in `/etc/fstab` to identify file
systems. This may cause unexpected behaviour later if another disk (such
as a USB drive) is added later containing file systems with clashing
labels. Unless you are sure that this is what you intend, we recommend
that you switch to using universally unique identifiers (UUIDs) instead.
For example, if a file system is identified as `LABEL=home` in `/etc/fstab`,
you can find the UUID as follows: {{{
blkid -o value -s UUID -l -t LABEL=home
}}} You can then replace `LABEL=home` with `UUID=output`, where `output` is the
output of blkid.
Systems installed using the release candidate or final release of Ubuntu
9.04 do not have this problem.

Don't place LABEL= in /etc/fstab by default, even if the filesystem has one
