Write udev rules to create persistent device names. |

An example from my /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules file: |
| 8 |
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]2", SYSFS{serial}=="300000005AF6", |
| 9 |
SYMLINK="%k", NAME="backups%e" |

You could also use filesystem labels in /etc/fstab. Instead of |
| 15 |
/dev/sdX, use LABEL=mylabel as the device name. You can set |
| 16 |
filesystem labels on any current filesystem. For example with ext3, |
| 17 |
you use e2label. |

With this, you don't need to mess with udev rules. |
