That only works to a limited extent.   I have a USB disk that usually 
sports an ext3 file system or three which I can mount by label.   I also 
have a memory stick and a CF reader both of which carry FAT file systems 
and you can't mount those by label.

I _think_ my USB disk has a labelled file system on it at the moment, 
but it still appears as /media/usbdisk though.
