I'm using this in a virtualization setup. The LVs I use have a label of
"root", "var", etc. Within the VMs those are unique and are used
in /etc/fstab..  I don't care about these labels on the host system but
I'd like my system to not break if possible :) .

Thanks for finding that! I'll report back once I've had a chance to try
this.
