In short : use UUIDs or labels instead of hardcoding /dev/sdX.

Yeah - I strongly believe in labels, given the fact that *no* one can remember a UUID....
markls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

I second Mark about filesystem labels. Labels you can read and type. UUIDs you can only copy and paste. Yes I did type them a few times, but... With upside there certainly comes downside of filesystem labels: if you are moving storage around you sometimes can hit the situation of having two identical labels. Which during last couple of decades I was able to get around.
