I suppose you could put a label on the drive (with tune2fs), then mount it by LABEL=xxxx... I dunno what else to suggest.
linux's crappy way of handling disk device names is one of my bigger gripes about it. its really messy in a SAN environment where there's several storage controllers. /dev/sdf could be almost -anything-. I prefer the c1t1d1 notation of traditional Unix systems like Solaris, although there still can be issues identifying the channel #s
udev takes care to provide unique names to disk devices. By label, or by uuid. Take a look at /dev/disk/by-label or /dev/disk/by-uuid, and use those entries as device names.
