It was my fault because info e2label never mentioned you must have
label= but I recall that now is the case. I might try again tomorrow and
change just one and see if I can get it to work. Can I do the same for
swap as well. I guess so but I tried and it said there were a bad
superblock.
But the loading of F7 had some weird Label on both swaps.
Don't forget that labels are used by grub too.
