After a bit of digging, it seems all methods have its own drawbacks:
by-label -> can generate collissions and is not present in all volumes
by-path -> can also change because it depends on the system bus it is
attached to
by-id -> it seems that not all devices provide an ID
by-uuid -> as we have seen, when formating or repartitioning the device
it can also change
Well, that said I like Lenny still uses the old scheme "/dev/sdx". At
least if it changes, I still understand it better than the new udev
naming :-)
