Just to be clear this isn't *my* idea, see: |

http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Fstab |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
ubuntu and I assume others have started populating the fstab with UUID |
| 15 |
entries rather than device names. To me it seems like an elegant |
| 16 |
solution to a problem, maybe not YOUR problem but that is likely down to |
| 17 |
my not understanding as completely as you do. :) |

As Neil said, udev rules can make it work or you can edit one line of |
| 20 |
your fstab. So that this: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
/dev/sdd1 /mnt/usb type defaults 0 0 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Becomes: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
UUID=123456 /mnt/usb type deftauls 0 0 |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
You can find 123456 by issuing: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
vol_id /dev/sdd1 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Again, whether or not this is what you need, only you can say. |
