Yes, ist can...

For example (using label as fstabkey should be possible):

> disk_config disk1 preserve_always:1 disklabel:msdos bootable:1 fstabkey:uuid
> primary - 161061273600B - -
> primary /      20GB      ext4  rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro     createopts="-L ROOT"
> primary swap   20GB swap  sw
> primary /home_lokal 20GB- ext4 rw,errors=remount-ro,rw createopts="-L HOME"

I am guessing not beccause parted doesn't do that (as far as I can tell). I guess I can use e2label and xfs_admin in a script. But But I think I am going to have to reproduce some of the logic in setup-storage in order to make sure the label matches the partition.
