How does that work if these are for removable devices (as I think from past threads may well be the case here), and you may be plugging half-a-dozen different devices into the same port at different times (and want each one to be mounted to this same place)? AFAIK, both UUID and LABEL are device- or FS-specific. If that's not the case, I'd be interested to learn about it. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
