You can write udev rules that trigger on the manufacturer, model, and |
| 14 |
serial numbers. You can then assign consistent symlinks or even mount |
| 15 |
them in predictable locations in the udev rules. I don't remember if |
| 16 |
you can change the actual sd* names themselves, but there's no real |
| 17 |
need to do so. |
