Bug#412837: use udev aliases
hey Sebastian,
When you accessing devices using the /dev/sd* names, you are
counting on the same ordering each time. If you want to use a name
that won't change, try one of the aliases under /dev/disk. For
example, I use the following line in my /etc/fstab to mount my usb stick:
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-PNY_USB_2.0_FD_6E59150036E6 /media/usb vfat noauto,defaults 0 0
Linux does not guarantee ordering of /dev/sd* devices, so this is not
a kernel bug.
[1] and really cannot, since driver loading is a userspace thing
