++ Labels are the most obvious solution to this sort of problem (especially if you want a generic system image that you can install in multiple places and not have to tweak). UUIDs are the other obvious solution, but that does need to be tailored to each install. I have used extra symlinks with udev in other situations. For example, I used to control two tuners via pl2303 serial ports and I used a rule to add a symlink based on the physical USB port each was plugged into, since otherwise I couldn't rely on the two devices being enumerated consistently. -- Rich
