ARGH! Thanks Etaoin, I forgot about the by-id mappings.
Meino, take a look at the by-id rules in 60-persistent-storage.rules.
It looks like you can use the ENV{ID_SERIAL} to match SATA drives by
serial.
The strange thing is that udev obviously knows the serial number of each
drive (udevinfo -q all -n /dev/sda *DOES* show the device's serial
number), but it seems that no file under /sys contains this information
It uses the /lib/udev/scsi_id program to read the information directly
from the drive.
/lib/udev/scsi_id -g -s /block/sda -d /dev/sda
