I am using Slackware (current) and I'm having an annoying problem. I am trying to write scripts to mount and unmount my iPod but the iPod and USB2 hardrive keep switching scsi device assignments. On one boot the USB2 drive shows up as /dev/sda1 and the iPod as /dev/sdb2 but on another boot they will switch. My question is how can I force them to always keep the same scsi device assignment?! Please help me. Thanks!
