Labels are the most obvious solution to this sort of problem |
| 12 |
(especially if you want a generic system image that you can install in |
| 13 |
multiple places and not have to tweak). UUIDs are the other obvious |
| 14 |
solution, but that does need to be tailored to each install. |

I have used extra symlinks with udev in other situations. For |
| 17 |
example, I used to control two tuners via pl2303 serial ports and I |
| 18 |
used a rule to add a symlink based on the physical USB port each was |
| 19 |
plugged into, since otherwise I couldn't rely on the two devices being |
| 20 |
enumerated consistently. |
