Thanks Dustin,
   I saw that entry but read it a bit differently. I took it to mean
that if you want BOTH label and UUID as methods then you have to parse
what's on the device to determine whether what's there is a label or a
UUID.

   In any case, I'd have to have an initramfs to use it so I believe
that's consistent with the outcome from yesterday's conversation.

   Thanks for providing the link.

Cheers,
Mark
