OK,
Let me see if I have this straight.
1. The preferred technique is to have each partition use a label and
use the labels in /etc/fstab.
2. You can set the labels on most things during install. For currently
unlabled partitions, you can use:
e2label <partition> [<label>] on ext2/3
mkswap -L <label> <partition> on swap partitions
dosfslabel on vfat file systems (from (dosfstools) - yum install
dosfstools
ntfslabel on ntfs file systems (from (ntfsprogs) - yum install
ntfsprogs
(Need to identify what repository contains the two RPMs)

I finally dug up a couple of more filesystems as well:
There is a --label option to reiserfstune.
There is a -L option to jfs_tune (whatever JFS is :-).
There may be something like a "tune" app for most filesystems.
I found a note about someone who didn't like the xfstune name,
but haven't actually found a description of the actual tuning
app for xfs filesystems. It probably goes on and on...
Hey, I found it! xfs_admin has a -L option.
