No, you'd be wrong. Try yourself, yast does it. Click on the button for "fstab options" and you will see the label entry inside.
I did that before writing my previous thread post. I see no option to create a label for formatting a swap partition type, only an option to mount by label if a label already exists. IOW, to format a swap partition, YaST offers no options at all. http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/yast2-131-part-opts.png
And I tried myself in YaST before posting. It does work :-)
I did not all the way through, for three reasons: 1-absence of existing swap partitions lacking labels; 2-lack of interest in creating new a swap partition just to test this; 3-the only things I ever do with the YaST "partitioner" is choose mount point, choose mounting options, and optionally select to be formatted... Except for one time about three years ago on a 2TB data-only HD, all of my BIOS-compatible partition table operations I do with DFSee, a cross platform app with binaries functionally and behaviorally identical for DOS, Linux, Mac, OS/2 & Windows.
It is in your photo. Click on "Volume label", then write a label, and the label is created.
That is non-intuitive (unexpected) workflow. Everything else in that window is about what gets written to fstab. The logical place to create the label would be elsewhere involving writing to a partition, such as formatting and formatting options. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
