Default The LABEL in the filesystem table doesn't work

The LABEL directive is a very good idea, which replaces
the older /dev/sda format in the /etc/fstab file.

However, I can't find a way to make the LABEL work with
an additional disk, the only LABELs that work properly are
those added by the RedHat installation procedure.

This is what I tried:

# e2label /dev/sdb /home/client

and I placed this line in the fstab file:

LABEL=/home/client /home/client ext2 defaults 1 2

but when I tried to mount, I got this error message:

# mount /home/client
mount: no such partition found

How can I make the LABEL work?

TIA,
