Don't do that. Really.
1) Don't use drive or partition device names such as /dev/sda7. They are
unreliable. Use persistent identifiers such as UUID or LABEL instead.
How does that work if these are for removable devices (as I think from
past threads may well be the case here),
Then you should use "noauto" so that the system does not try to mount a
non-existent filesystem at startup.
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)?
You can use the symlinks in /dev/disk/by-path/ which names are based on
the connection path of the device.
AFAIK, both UUID and LABEL are device- or FS-specific. If that's not the
case, I'd be interested to learn about it.
UUID and LABEL are metadata bound to the contents (filesystem or
whatever), not to the device. PARTUUID and PARTLABEL are bound to the
partitions and usable if the partition scheme (such as GPT), kernel and
libblkid support it. You can create several filesystems on separate
drives with the same UUID or LABEL, but I would not recommend it.
