The drives are actually being randomly reassigned at each reboot,
that is there is no persistence as I was thinking above. An example is
links I had on the desktop that got reassigned to different partitions
each reboot.
A discussion of why using UUIDs is a problem for those of us who change
things around on the hard drives a lot:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=731401
I suppose I could use labels, or assign short memorable UUIDs to the
partitions, though it seems much better to use designations that are more
reflective of the actual hardware because then I know at a glance what hardware
I am using and thus speed and size data that helps me monitor the system.

Problem is a race between udev and dmsetup and a way to solve it?

So, the Ubuntu installer scripts ought to be writing these persistence rules.
Without such rules you are randomly assigning hardware into the filesystem
hierarchy at each reboot which clearly plays havoc with a lot of other things.
