My 'universe of discourse' is a _personal_ laptop with one 
hard-drive.

The set of users is intrinsically "me", "myself" and "i". Only 
"i" may use sudo.
"me" and "myself" are working on different aspects of the same 
problem and must share results. The only distinction is in 
scratch files. Debian's personalized home directories serve that 
nicely.

Labels are intrinsically unique mnemonics. UUID's would only be a 
source of confusion.

Mr. Christensen had referred me to 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modes_%28Unix%29
I also found the following to be informative (complementing the 
man pages):
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chown
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ls
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_(Unix)

For the moment proj-1 and proj-2 should be considered 
appropriately formatted and labeled USB flash drives. When one or 
other or both are plugged in, they shall be immediately available 
WITHOUT operator intervention. FAT32 would work except for file 
size limitations.

The laptop being used is dedicated to this project and to me 
learning ins and outs of Debian. Due to later I've wiped the disk 
and reinstalled multiple times in a single day. [If retirement is 
not for education, of what use might it be ;]

Thank you for your time.
