I like the assigned-name solution. I still don't like dynamic disk names.
It's not a show-stopper by any stretch, but if you move disks around,
(not uncommon on development machines) it's a pain. And while you're correct
about the boot/fsck issues, adding a renumbering in /etc/fstab to my
restart sequence isn't doing anything to get the machine back up quickly
(or reliably).
Anyway, enough of this -- I have config files to go hardwire :-)
