A couple sentences are a little confusing up there...

It doesn't matter where you mount a device. If you want to swap disc 4 and
5 just do this.

>/dev/wd1s1e   2000831  1387310   453455    75%    /disk5
>/dev/wd3s1e   3795566  1184598  2307323    34%    /disk4

Now, if you physically swap the location of the drives on your IDE ports
then you need to change the device names. This is just as trivial as
changing the mounting locations.

>/dev/wd3s1e   2000831  1387310   453455    75%    /disk4
>/dev/wd1s1e   3795566  1184598  2307323    34%    /disk5
