On a reasonably up to date etch system, udev is the man behind the
curtain for removable devices. For that to work reliably, you'll need
to specify sysfs attributes to differentiate between drives. For
instance, I have:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{manufacturer}=="LEXAR MEDIA", SYSFS{product}=="JUMPDRIVE ELITE", \
KERNEL=="sd*", SYMLINK+="pendrive%n", MODE="0660", GROUP="cdrom"
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Apple", SYSFS{product}=="iPod mini", \
KERNEL=="sd*", SYMLINK+="ipod%n", MODE="0660", GROUP="cdrom"
To handle a couple of devices, and then I mount /dev/pendrive1 or /dev/ipod
in fstab.
HTH,
