Another option is to set a LABEL for the logical volume as explained here: http://www.tecmint.com/change-modify-linux-disk-partition-label-names/

Mount points are set in /etc/fstab:

UUID=b85df913-580f-461c-844f-546d8cde4646 /home/projects ext4 defaults 0 0
UUID=e1929239-5087-44b1-9396-53e09db6eb9e /home/backups ext4 defaults 0 0

As UUIDs are unique, it’s the best way to identify each volume.

Then, ‘mount -a’ reads /etc/fstab and mounts all the volumes configured in it

when you created mount points for each LVs, /home/projects, /home.backups, how they got their mounting directory, ? just with mount -a command?

Is there any scenario where someone will have two volume group? does it add any significance?
