You can use the symlink parameter to have a consistent device name to mount
to. Here's the contents of my /etc/udev/rules.d/local.rules
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="JUMPDRIVE", NAME="%k", symlink="jumpdrive"
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="JUMPDRIVE PRO", NAME="%k", symlink="jumpdrive_pro"
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="JumpDrive Trio", NAME="%k",symlink="jumpdrive_trio"
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="USB SmartMedia", NAME="%k", symlink="smartmedia"
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="ARCHOS USB2.0 (P4a)",NAME="%k", symlink="jukebox"
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="C2Z,D520Z,C220Z", NAME="%k", symlink="camera"
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld", NAME="%k", symlink="pilot"
I use autofs to mount these, but the symlinks should work with fstab just as
well.
