devlabel creates a symbolic link between the physical device and a
mnemonic name (sort of like the way "/dev/cdrom" points at "/dev/hdb"
or whatever). It also reads the UUID from the device if it has one (it
creates one otherwise) and puts an entry in the /etc/sysconfig/devlabel
file that it can use later to recreate the symbolic link if the device
name changes (such as would happen if the USB bus changes).

First, it helps if you have devlabel installed. I never even heard of this
program before!
This is a great tip! I've seen this question asked before and this is the
first time I seen a workable solution for linking a USB device to a
particular mountpoint.
Hey, even a blind pig finds the occasional truffle! ;-)
