I assume you meant "label", Andy ;o)

Which leads to a question:

I used gparted to apply the labels.
And I could only apply then if the partition was not mounted.

So what is the proper definition of such a label that gparted applies? 
filesystem or partition?

Its seems to point (to me anyway) as two different methods, and 
therefore is in different locations in the medium. If so, how is the 
difference determined?

Inquiring minds and all that nonsense... ;o)>
