OK. I jumped into LVM. I took my spare drive, put it to use with LVM.
Then copied data from my super large drive to it and backed up some to
DVDs that wouldn't fit. Then I put the big drive on LVM and put the
stuff back. Now comes the problem. I use LABELS in fstab and would
like to continue that. I can't figure out how to get the LABEL set for
the LVM file system tho. This is my info:

I tried e2label since it has ext4 for the file system. It didn't work
and I don't know for sure what to point it to for the device. I can't
point to the drive itself since there are now two in the setup.
What am I missing here? It's simple I'm sure but I'm missing it.

P. S. hey, I got it all created, copied and all so it was a start. lol
