Adding a prefix or suffix to avoid label collisions is a good practice. 
However IMO a label should be associated to the contents, not to the 
container (disk or partition) at least on fixed disks. I do not care 
that a given filesystem is in partition X on disk Y, all that matters to 
me is that it contains the home directory for system 'foo' (for 
instance) -> foo_home.
