I remember reading somewhere that it's possible with later linux-kernels to fix the names of detachable-devices (e.g. USB). Unfortunately I've forgotten where that was; could someone give me a pointer? I need this for a USB-FDD, which (on my 2007 system) is sometimes called /dev/sda, sometimes /dev/sda_1 and other times /media/floppy. Slightly confusing (for me, anyway) huh.gif . Thanks.
