Re: RFC: Don't label filesystems

This is a somewhat crazy thought, but rather than continuing down the

instead just stopped labeling them altogether? We're going to use UUID
for mounting anyway at which point we have our unique identifier.  And
then we could get rid of a fair bit of really grotty code.

Other opinions?


I think it's a good idea. No reason to keep dealing with labels at this point and we can simplify the partitioning code going forward.

It has my vote.
