-L label
Set the filesystem label. XFS filesystem labels can be at most 12
characters long; if label is longer than 12 characters, xfs_admin
will truncate it and print a warning message. The filesystem
label can be cleared using the special ``--'' value for label.

i've seen it there once, have not looked at fc2 anaconda.
in any case the reason florin was having trouble was not related to this,
he had old md superblocks on the devices, mkfs did not wipe them out,
and mount didn't scan them because of this.
