Only mount by LABEL and UUID do but they also have problems (as
you already mentioned): Both can be present twice if the user
simply copies a volume with dd.

Too bad we cannot boot from LVM: That would solve the problems
since LVM doesn't care about the device name but just scans every
device for its own UUID.
