Description of problem:

I used LABELs for fstab mounts and when I moved to a new disk, mounts started complaining about 'bad superblock ... on /dev/hda2'. On the new disk /dev/hda2 is reserved for Win XP (not installed) and marked as HPFS/NTFS type in fdisk.

It is surprising mount is trying to find label for this volume. It worked fine when changed fstab to actual patitions instead of LABELs. I would expect mount to skip partitions that it doesnot get a LABEL for.

fdisk:
======

/etc/fstab that didn't work:
============================

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/hda1               /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
#LABEL=home              /home                   ext3    defaults        1 2
#LABEL=misc             /mnt/misc               ext3    defaults        1 2

fstab that worked:
=================

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/hda1               /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
#LABEL=home              /home                   ext3    defaults        1 2
#LABEL=misc             /mnt/misc               ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/hda5               /home                   ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/hda6               /mnt/misc               ext3    defaults        1 2


LABELs on ext3 partitions are set properly.

$ uname -a
Linux pulpfiction 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1 Thu Jun 2 22:55:56 EDT 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
util-linux-2.12p-9.3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have an NTFS partions on the disk (say hda2)

2. Have a ext3 patition with a label (say "test") after the ntfs partition 
   /dev/hda3.

3. Mounting /dev/hda3 with label does not work in fstab.
  

Actual Results:  
Boot fails with mount complaining about bad superblock on /dev/hda2.

Expected Results:  
Mount should have just ignored /dev/hda2.
