You then specify in fstab that you mount by it's label versus the device name directly. And just so you don't go around and around in circles -- tunefs will create /dev/ufs and geom_label/glabel will create /dev/label There is a bug report to clarify the docs I submitted about this. To clear /dev/label, you use glabel, to clear /dev/ufs, you use tunefs
