(...) I'd say there is no perfect method to manage this. I still miss the old-plain-intuitive method for designating block devices (hda → first ide, hdb → second ide device, sda → first scsi/sata device, etc...) but we have to cope the new changes because they are vry much needed (nowadays we connect many devices of diverse nature, most of them hot-swappable and they cannot overlap). In this regard, every user chooses the best method for identifying hard disks (I like labels for removable devices and uuid/id for fixed hard disks) but lastly this is just a matter of convenience, here there is no "one size fits all", no method is perfect for all the situations and all of them have their own drawbacks.
