There is a longer existing second mechanism in linux named disklabel. See here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Persistent_block_device_naming The advantage is that you can recreate partitions without a problem if you use the same name for a disklabel as before. The disadvantage is that a lot of people think that this labels can get lost instead this never happens to me.-) See this as an optional information about your problem. See you, Attila
