Yes, it works this way (see /lib/udev/write_cd_rules). I think this is the least confusing scheme *and* other distributions work this way too so I am not sure it's a good idea to change it. But feel free to try to persuade me... BTW, now I see that it's a removable device. See #395962 about how to get really persistent names. I'd like to fix this for etch, but I am really busy with my day job right now and I have not even been able to follow up this bug. -- ciao, Marco
