Just to be clear this isn't *my* idea, see:
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Fstab
ubuntu and I assume others have started populating the fstab with UUID
entries rather than device names. To me it seems like an elegant
solution to a problem, maybe not YOUR problem but that is likely down to
my not understanding as completely as you do. :)
As Neil said, udev rules can make it work or you can edit one line of
your fstab. So that this:
/dev/sdd1 /mnt/usb type defaults 0 0
Becomes:
UUID=123456 /mnt/usb type deftauls 0 0
You can find 123456 by issuing:
vol_id /dev/sdd1
Again, whether or not this is what you need, only you can say.
