What I want to say is: if you mount USB devices automatically then you
should use disk-ID's instead of sd* names.

Hi list,
some weeks ago I bought 2 external USB 2.0 hard disks to use them as
mass-storage for assorted data.
I created the ext3 filesystem on both and mounted them just fine under /disk1
and /disk2.
This is how it looks like now (correct way):
--
/dev/sdb1 480719088 96188532 360111356 22% /disk1
/dev/sdc1 480719088 252211016 204088872 56% /disk2
--
Yesterday I had to reboot the system to apply some patches and found those
external hard disks wrongly mounted when the system came back to life:
--
/dev/sdb1 480719088 96188532 360111356 22% /disk2 <-- this
should be /disk1
/dev/sdc1 480719088 252211016 204088872 56% /disk1 <-- this
should be /disk2
--
My /etc/fstab has the following entries for them:
--
/dev/sdb1 /disk1 ext3 acl,user_xattr 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /disk2 ext3 acl,user_xattr 0 0
--
I rebooted the system 2 times more just to check this behavior and it seems
that /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 are "swapped" at boot time sometimes for some
reason still unclear to me... and of course, I don't swap the USB cables :-P
Any idea why this happens??
TIA,
Martin
