How to get the USB external drives to be detected in always the same order, so that they always get the same "name"? /dev/sdX fixed to them? That way, the LVM wont be messed...
Perhaps you can use UUIDs for that like Fedora is already doing. See man uuidgen for more info about a UUID. Assign each USB drive a unique UUID and use those UUIDs (instead of /dev/sdX) in /etc/fstab.
