Yep, I use labels, even for swap. Except I use the swap partition label because each format of swap wipes out the Medial label/UUID, which is usually performed when installing a new OS. I usually set the Partition label and media label to the same value. Those usually become my mount points. $ grep swap /etc/fstab PARTLABEL=swap swap swap defaults,nofail 0 0 $ lsblk -o NAME,TYPE,FSTYPE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL,PARTLABEL NAME TYPE FSTYPE MOUNTPOINT LABEL PARTLABEL sda disk ├─sda1 part ext4 mga6 mga6 ├─sda2 part ext4 / mga8 mga8 ├─sda3 part ext4 mga7 mga7 ├─sda4 part ext4 cauldron cauldron ├─sda5 part ext4 /local local local ├─sda6 part ext4 /accounts accounts accounts ├─sda7 part ext4 /misc misc misc ├─sda8 part ext4 /spare spare spare ├─sda9 part ext4 /vmguest vmguest vmguest └─sda10 part bios_grub sdb disk ├─sdb1 part swap [SWAP] swap swap ├─sdb2 part ext4 bk_up bk_up ├─sdb3 part ext4 hotbu hotbu ├─sdb4 part ext4 cauldron_bkup cauldron_bkup ├─sdb5 part ext4 /myth myth myth ├─sdb6 part ext4 net_ins net_ins └─sdb7 part ext4 net_ins_bkup net_ins_bkup
