I'm guessing this works with some other filesystems, as quite a lot of filesystems carry some sort of label. So one might want to make sure any such filesystems have descriptive labels, most can have them added in a non-destructive fashion after creation. I've seen some stuff on how to persuade devices to mount with the same mount point after the first time, if that is useful I'll try and find it again. Although more complex stuff might be done with a script as hotplug can trigger a script when something is plugged in, and one could just remove the standard automounting and do one's own thing (filesystems - who need em ;-).
