[Bug 119584] Re: Installing Ubuntu removes both UUID and LABEL from partition

[Len Ovens]

This is still a problem in saucy. With multiple partitions the user will
want to mount other partitions sometimes using a file manager.  I have
four 20G partitions which are hard to identify, so I gave them all
names. This helps me in two way, It is easier to select which one I want
and it is easier to find from the command line as it is mounted as
/media/$USER/label/ rather than the very painful /media/$USER/$UUID/.

What should happen: 
 - ubiquity should save the label for the partition.
 - ubiquity should ask the user if they want to keep it or modify it.
 - ubiquity should then label the partition as requested.

Title:
  Installing Ubuntu removes both UUID and LABEL from partition

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  When I install Ubuntu (Tribe 1 in this case), a new UUID is assigned
  and the LABEL removed from the target partition.

  This is problematic, since I cannot permanently identify a partition
  any more.

  According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UsingUUID, the usage of /dev/hd*
  and /dev/sd* is not supported any more, but nevertheless it seems the
  most stable option to identify a partition.
