Not really. My initial problem was that a volume sometimes came up very
late, so that the lvm2 initscript didn't activate that volume group. So
I wanted to wait for this specific disk during boot. Meanwhile, I
created an udev rule that uses the vendor and device name, which also
has the advantage of being the same when the disk is connected via
Firewire and USB (or, should be the same at least, I didn't test USB
yet).

Tino
