Then I checked the mount and noticed that /mnt was in sdb1 instead of in sdc1. So I umounted and mounted with -L again. But it would mount sdb1 again. So I umounted and mounted with /dev/sdc1 and no -L. That worked.

I don’t understand this bug report.  Labels must be unique.  They are
a more readable alternative to using UUIDs.
