Ah, so iso9660 has stricter rules than, say, xFAT/NTFS and even UFS...

Maybe then we could distinguish file system type given to makefs(8) and apply 
different check/sed rules depending on it?

I mean: it looks a bit unexpected (if not uncomfortable) to have label set up 
by outer OS accepted by geom_label (and thus created in /dev tree) but unable 
to duplicate it via makefs(8) and similar mechanisms...
