Bug Description

I can't easily figure out which partition to overwrite if ubiquity don't list their "name"(label).

Especially when I partitioned many same sized OS partitions.(2 Linux, 2 Windows)

There maybe people don't name their partition, but others do ;)

*update*
Here gave additional reason(s) how this is important.
1.Once installer is started, you can't easily mount partition to figure out which is which (at least, for normal users).

This is a user friendliness issue :

At the partitioning phase, ubiquity should list ALL available labels :

- Partition labels (for example on GPT),

- Filesystem labels (on formatted partitions).

I suggest to increase the importance from 'Wishlist' to a higher value.

Indeed ! I almost format the wrong partition today mainly because of the lack of partitions labels :(
