what is UUID naming for devices?

Sun Jul 8 21:32:52 UTC 2007

Just curious, what is the advantage of using a UUID over using a label?
Wouldn't it be easier and more human-readable to create a volume label
and use label= in /etc/fstab at least for those filesystems that support
labels?

Live long and prosper,
