As other readers have noted, device nodes for drives are unpredictable.

 i've hated UUIDs since they arrived so i've
always used LABELS instead.  for people with a simple
layout it makes so much more sense to use legible
and much shorter id's.

I never use labels because if I want to attach a drive to another computer for some reason it's extremely common for the labels to collide.
