In one of the weekend posts you learned how to obtain disk and partition uuid - is there any technical reason to not use uuid to mount your external drive?
Uuids definitely do not change unless you change it intentionally. I do not want to sound weary, but this topic repeats on this list regularly - the solution is always simple and stable - use uuid to mount disk or partition. Someone, somewhere famously said - Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
