[PLUG] firewire hard drive, reiserfs, FAT32 label, scripts


I added a firewire harddrive to my box tonight.  Nice.  It automounted
(debian) on /media/FAT32 from /dev/sdc1.  So I unmounted, mkreiserfs
--label backup-320, remounted.  All's good.

I'm reluctant to add a line to /etc/fstab, since firewire drives are
removable and so in principle it could mount as sdd1 or something.
Anyone know what the right way to deal with this is?

The main issue is that I'm using it for backup, so I want rsync
scripts to find the right volume.
