7 You can use alternative drives and partitions names created by udev:
8
9 /dev/disk/by-id/* - named by drive model and serial number
10 for example /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_SP0411N_S01JJ10L437449-part3
11
12 /dev/disk/by-path/* - named by device address on subseqeuent buses,
13 for example /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:0d.0-ide-0:0-part1
