Any work around?

Hi Shino,
You can still label your hardisk using the command e2label. The
syntax is
e2label device-name label
e2label /dev/sda2 SLASH

I think u require labelling partitions
in redhat, one command e2label is there for labelling partitions
I don't know whether any utilities like this are available in other distros
