maybe I understood some thing not correct (because I am German), and my meaning of "Label" is not your meaning of "Label". That, what i understand as label is the name, I give a partition. For example, in gparted, I can give a partition a label like I want. For example, my Windows partition can get a label like "windows", "win11", "shitty_windows" or whatever, or my datapartition maybe labelled "space1". Is it that, what we are talking about? If yes, then I believe, it might be easy (or with some efforts), to hang in an usb-drive with a special label, which will then be booted, as the label of the usb-drive can be found in /etc/ fstab. But it will be much more difficiult, to create an usb-drive with the same UUID as can be found in /etc/fstab. That was my point, but maybe, as said before, we are talking of different kind of labels. Have fun! Hans
