SubjectRe: A but that allows you to build a Linux 2.2.1 kernel that will not boot.
> ZCPR (TOPS-20-ish overlay for CP/M) implemented volume names.

Linux, at least ext2, also implements volume names.
You can set or display volume labels with e2label(8),
mount is willing to mount by label; e.g., my /etc/fstab has

LABEL=Boot /boot ext2 noauto 0 0

for the boot partition.
Furthermore, cfdisk will show volume labels.

So, there is some minimal support, only very few people use it.
