Actually from fstab :-
Instead of giving the device explicitly, one may indicate
the (ext2) filesystem that is to be mounted by its UUID or
volume label (cf. e2label(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.
so that would be okay for ext2 at least,
Sincerely,
Adrian Phillips
