Dominique,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I sometimes run into trouble by having too
many different USB drives to mount. I got the impression that
configuring udev was the answer, but I was intimidated by the coding
necessary to do it.

Interesting. I see the logic by looking at /dev/disk/by-id, and it
looks simple. But I am a bit nervous about experimenting. Can you
refer me to a HOWTO, or do I have to play around to see if I can get
it to work? It seems this use of by-id is actually part of udev.
