I believe that a multi-volume filesystem should have some kind of human understandable handle/name. Just like a name of a logical volume. For single disks filesystems, the disk name suffices (and reduced the need for such a name/label), but in multi-disk FS there should still be a humane name for that mountpoint or filesystem. So, while any unique identifier would technically be okay, I think that there should be a human undertanble name/label for it. Not just some uid. Does Hellwig work, or any planned feature provide this ?
