+As there are something like 16 or more characters available for volume labels 
+on native partitions, there's no need in the vast majority of situations for 
+them to be non-unique. Even after cloning operations it's a simple enough 
+matter in most cases to alter the copies' and/or originals' labels and UUIDs. 
+I use labels liberally with native partitions in cmdlines and fstabs, UUIDs 
+never. Volume labels can be readily remembered and typed as circumstances 
+dictate, unlike UUIDs.
