I had the impression that namedev in udev had persistent naming support which has there to solve precisely this kind of problem. udev does indeed support persistent naming, but with the latest version of udev, it doesn't appear there's integrated support for USB mass storage devices; will have to check with the developer to find out what the plans are for integration of mass storage devices. Fix summary typo. There is no "out of the box" persistent naming scheme in udev. It just creates the nodes with the name the kernel suggests (with some minor renames). Users can create their own rules/naming scheme easily. http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/ http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php |
