Does this mean LINUX has it already sorted for me ?

Seems disk 1 and disk 2 have different ID's
I looked in YAST / partioner and it is set to Mount by "Device ID"
Device: /dev/sdb1 Device Path: pci-0000:00:04.1-usb-0:4:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0-part1 Device ID 1: usb-WD_My_Passport_070A_575836314331304132333530-0:0-part1
Device: /dev/sdc1 Device Path: pci-0000:00:06.1-usb-0:2:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0-part1 Device ID 1: usb-WD_My_Passport_070A_575843304341394436353438-0:0-part1
So I should be ok ?
Device IDs are different from UUIDs; device IDs depend on the hard disk serial number, while a UUID is stored in the filesystem. In your case, fstab is using device IDs, which remain constant across reboots, reconnections etc. So you should be ok.
Will try it my marking each disk with a little text file in the root and see if I can fool LINUX ;-)
Cheers
