As far as I know those labels are not tied to any filesystem, nor dependent on any. If you use i.e. Partition Magic you will find the possibility to set a label, so does the old fdisk on DOS.
The Linux kernel requires BSD disk label support compiled in (CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL=y) to use the labels with fstab and how it is used as kernel command line in the grub.conf on Fedora (Redhat) systems.
really? i've used e2label many times for labelling filesystems, and i've never built a kernel with BSD labelling. are you sure about this? (time to go RTFS, i guess.)
