Because device nodes like /dev/sd* get assigned depending on the order in which the kernel loads device drivers and in which order the device drivers discover the drives. The ordering has never been guaranteed to be the same, it's just much more noticeable now that much more stuff is hot-pluggable. > No, but the best solution is to have fstab refer to them by label, not > device name.

Labels aren't unique, which can be a problem if you need to move disks between different systems. Mounting filesystems by UUID is supposed to happen by default if you install with F9.
