Well, it can be handy, but the devs probably did not find it useful enough to do it. As far as I remember, it is not possible to label a filesystem while in use, and often the kernel does not see the change till you reboot.
You can definitely label a *mounted* ext3 filesystem partition. I just did it via the yast2-partitioner.
Interesting. Try the same with reiserfs, xfs, fat... I believe most of them do not accept it.
reiserfs did not work from the partitioner, so I added a comment to the bugzilla about that. xfs did. Surprisingly, xfs_admin -L from the command line would not handle it being mounted, so this is a case where the partitioner is more flexible than the CLI tool. I did not test fat, ntfs, jfs, etc. So at this point we have 2 successes (ext3 and xfs) and 2 failures (reiserfs and swap). I guess I should update the FATE entry with that info.
