Hi Jerome,
I've seen this question before, and someone mentioned scsidev. It's part
of the scsitools package, and can provide individual names for any scsi
device (and USB and firewire) so that they are always mapped to the same
device name. I haven't used it myself though. Anyway, it might be what
you're looking for:
$ apt-cache show scsitools

Description: Collection of tools for SCSI hardware management
This package is a collection of tools for manipulating SCSI hardware:
.
scsiinfo: displays SCSI drive low-level information and modifies SCSI
drive settings,
scsidev: makes permanent SCSI LUN -> devicename connections,
scsifmt: low-level SCSI formatter,
sraw: benchmarks raw SCSI I/O rates bypassing the buffer cache,
scsistop: low-level SCSI drive start/stop program,
scsi-spin: program to manually spin up and down a SCSI device.
.
Be aware that these tools require some knowledge of what are they
doing to be used properly, not causing damage to your system.
Regards,
Damien
