Ok, ok, amen, so be it. If it's ok in fstab, if bash always expands correctly then you're right, don't change anything if it would bring more annoyance than ease of life.
Title is « won't warn neither prevent usage of « risky » characters in labels » Nothing else. Accented letters in partition label seem ( nowadays ) a problem with latest Ubuntu installer - as reported by geole on the forum ( am just quoting here as I was unable to do anything with the latest Ubuntu installer by my side, so can't confirm myself. ) No backpedaling from me - your bad reading because you jumped on accented letters while I always was worrying about the « special / risky » characters and insisted twice on that matter. « Why should we print some kind of nanny-state, "naughty, naughty! you did something that might confuse a less clueful user!!" warning » Because that's how you catch attention on a topic and eventually teach someone how to do better, for self and others. Anyway thank you for your answers and explanations which justify why e2label needs no change. Labels can't be an issue if I understand correctly.
