>From man 5 fstab:
Instead of giving the device explicitly, one may indicate
the (ext2 or XFS) filesystem that is to be mounted by its
UUID or volume label (cf. e2label(8) or xfs_admin(8)),
writing LABEL=<label> or UUID=<uuid>, e.g., `LABEL=Boot'
or `UUID=3e6be9de-8139-11d1-9106-a43f08d823a6'. This will
make the system more robust: adding or removing a SCSI
disk changes the disk device name but not the filesystem
volume label.
e2label prints and changes the label, as does tune2fs -L.
