You can label the filesystems on each of your partitions. Then you mount according to the label rather than by the device special file. Let me ask google... http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Partition/#labels For years the order of SCSI disks was stable, but there was never any particular guarantee that the order would be any particular way. Then a new release of the kernel appeared that reversed the order! Since then the best thing to do has been to label your partitions.
