UUIDs work for me. Driver modules load in parallel and nothing will
ensure consistent device names. A unique identifier for the filesystem
is just so much better in the long run. You can add and remove
controllers, swap disks around, etc, and the only thing to worry about
is that your boot loader should be able to be found by the BIOS.
