Multiple filesystems are supported, although the labels appear in 
different places.  See 'man glabel | less -p tunefs'.  If your MS-DOS 
or ext2fs filesystem is natively labeled, the system automatically 
creates those labels in the appropriate directories in /dev.

It seemed spread out to me, too.  But it hasn't been a problem, and I've 
come to think of it as namespaces.
