I'm terrible at coming up with #Volume names for drives.

Under
#Windows I literally had my #drives labeled "DRIVE_D", "DRIVE_E", "DRIVE_F", etc. Which did help in the event the drive #letters got jumbled about (which happened about once every six months or so, usually when I'd attach a removable drive.)

But
#Linux has no concept of "drive letters".

Am I crazy for using the drive's serial number as its Volume Label?

It is at least allowing me to keep track as to which drives I've re-formatted as
#ext4+#Luks and which are still formatted as #NTFS though.

Thoughts?
