With scsi storage, which includes USB flash storage, the device name frequently changes with rebooting. For example, a swap drive alone can be /dev/sda but if the system starts with a store connected by USB, the swap drive can be /dev/sdb. Is there any way to have the kernel use a name such as /dev/fujitsu which it gets from the scsi bus?
