nothing wrong with the LABEL entries, they're a more convenient
way of referring to disk partitions than by their /dev name, and
it's how RH7 does it by default now.
if you don't like the label, use the "e2label" command to inspect
or change the label of a partition. you're better off using
the label, since it won't unpredictably change as /dev names
might if you repartition your disk.
