    Or you can fall back to mounting by UUID, which is globally
    unique and still avoids referencing physical location.  You also
    don't need to manually set LABELs for UUID to work: all e2fsprogs
    over the past couple of years have set UUID on partitions, and
    e2fsck will create a new UUID if it sees an old filesystem that
    doesn't already have one.

Other filesystems such as reiserfs at present don't have such a
thing. I brought this a while ago and in theory it's not too hard, we
just need to get Hans to officially designate part of the SB or
whatever for the UUID.
