--- Comment #1 from Thomas Fehr <fehr@xxxxxxxxxx>  2007-09-12 04:03:23 MST ---
Whitespace in labels in not really forbidden but it has the potential to
cause unexpected problems. Think about entries with "LABEL=<labelname>"
instead of /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab. As soon as <labelname> contains whitespace
it could break a lot of code parsing /etc/fstab. Therefore and to prevent
people
from unknowingly e.g. adding blanks at start or end of label text, we decided 
not to allow whitespace in labels created by YaST2. If you happen to have a 
filesystem with a label containing whitespace, it should not be really a
problem.
Using e.g. "openSUSE_10.3" instead of "openSUSE 10.3" should also be
acceptable.
If you really want a label to include whitespace you can easily create it 
manually via e2label, tune2fs, reiserfstune, xfs_admin, as said it should not 
really be harmful, we just do not encourage it.
