People who are very skilled at making udev rules have done so in my Fedora, and I assume *other* Linux distros, in the */lib/udev/rules.d* subdirectory. I expect the */run/udev* subdirectory to be empty because it is not a persistent file-system.
I have /etc/udev/rules.d/ with one entry from 2018. /run/udev/ is more current. When the kernel keeps the same device name for portable USB drives they're loaded because that mount point is in fstab.
I'm not certain what you mean by "*Generic for any portable USB drive*". You *want* each drive to have some unique label. If you don't then you will most likely get some kind of access collision that isn't going to end well.
What I mean is that my thumb drives come from different vendors. Thanks, Rich
