Want to relocate /home partition on RH9

I originally setup RH9 with all the partitions on the same drive that I
boot from. Now I would like to relocate the swap and /home partitions to
a second drive.

I used Partition Magic to create new partitions on the second drive
taking space from an NTFS partition and they are labeled for Linux Swap
and for Ext-3 use.

I was able to get the swap partition to mount by changing the entry in
/etc/fstab so that it now points to /dev/hdb2.

The /home however is referenced by a Label=/home instead of a specific
/dev/hda4 so I'm wondering where that label is stored.

I can mount /dev/hdb3 manually and copy everything from /home to what
I've temporarily mounted as /home2 but I want to split the data and root
drives for performance and safety reasons.

Anyone know where that "Label=" comes from ?

Thanks
