Hi,

I want to use my usb hd and my usb mp3-player an my linux computer. if i
plug them on on after one, they will assigned as sda (i.e. my usb hd)
and sdb (my mp3-player) . so i can add them to /etc/fstab. the problem
is; if i plug on only one of them or in another order, the device files
are changed to and the mount points are not correct.

my first idea was to use volume labels. that works fine with my ext2
partition but i don't helps on my vfat partitions. the compactflash
cards an two of my partitions on my usb-hd must be vfat partitions.

any ideas how to fix?
