A few months back Linux Journal had an article about it.  If anyone
would like to give and ALE Central talk on udev, I'd look favorably on
them.

&gt; 
&gt; On Gentoo, there is a &quot;udev&quot; package that is a replacement for devfs.
It
&gt; allows you configure specific devices to fixed filenames.  I don't
know if
&gt; this is gentoo specific, part of the linux kernel, or an independent
&gt; project.

&gt; &gt; I have an iPod and an external CD drive and an external hard drive,

semester

for
&gt; me
&gt; &gt; to plug in my iPod, for example, and have it mount /mnt/iPod, or
plug in
&gt; my
&gt; &gt; external drive and have it mount '/mnt/maxtor' or what have you.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; This way I can use things like gtkpod, etc to mount the drive and I
will
&gt; be
&gt; &gt; able to control where it mounts without having to manually specify.
&gt; (This
&gt; &gt; is on Debian 2.6.8)
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; I don't need it to automount the drives, but I'd like to be able to,
for
&gt; &gt; example, let gtkpod mount my iPod for me, which requires it to stay
&gt; &gt; consistent. I've noticed that if I remove a device and reconnect it,
it
&gt; &gt; often comes up as a different block device...how can I get around
this?
&gt; &gt; Can I set labels and set fstab to mount by label?
