Oh, when I heard that, I thought it was a way to label a partition -- 
which makes no sense since it is part of the disk configuration. I 
should have made the connection because I've been going into parted and 
entering a mklabel command to create a partition table.

It is kind of confusing though. You do a mklabel, to make a partition 
table. If you want to make a partition lable, you do something else.
  You say label, I say table. Lets call the whole thing off.
