If you are talking about restricting labels names here, I had the code, but it was backed out. Please see the archives.

I wrote this twice already in this thread, but let me write it again. File systems are not the whole world. For example. I've a disk ad0. I configured gbde(4) on top of it. I create file system on top of ad0.bde.
