plugged the stick/disk in, AFAIK I don't get the same device assigned to the same USB disk/stick. If I put the stick into a USB port it gets assigned to /dev/sdx where x can be anything from a-z.
I have one printer, one digital tablet, one UPS and sometimes one flash drive plugged randomly into my USB ports. I've never had to make any changes in configuration just because I changed the USB port I plugged the device into.
IMHO not entirely true. If you plug in more than one storage device, it depends on the order (just tested it). The first plugged in (or better recognised) gets /dev/sde1, the second /dev/sdf1. For my problem it would be probably good enough to remember to plug the disk in and switch it on before I plug another stick in. Then I could just set the options in fstab - but I would like the other option - using properly configured hotplugs - better.
