FWIW, you can use the /dev/disk/by-*/* symlinks (as normally setup by udev) to reference various devices. Of course because the identifiers behind by-uuid and by-label are per- filesystem, those will normally only identify the one device of a multi- device filesystem, but the by-id links ID on device serials and partition number, and if you are using GPT partitioning, you have by-partuuid and (if you set them when setting up the partitions) by-partlabel as well. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
