Hi there,
I'm new here, so please, don't throw rocks at me. And yeah, I'm using
Windows for writing to Newsgroups. -_-
My problem is:
Linux sets the names of USB devices in the order, they are connected to the
PC.
Is there a possibility of setting the names by the serial of the USB-HDDs,
for example?
I just want to have my devices the same names whenever I connect them.
Thank you very much for your attention.

Not excatly my area of expertise but have a look at udev rules. This is
for example where you can define network device names (eg eth0 eth1)
Dont quote me but I think you can also create mount points by the volume
name of the device. eg a CDROM might be at /media/myprogs if the volume
or label name was myprogs.
Apologies for nut being specific...
Cheers Bob

if you label the USB HD disk with a name then mount is
always the same even other linux OS
then mount the OS the usb HD disk to "/media/your_label"
You can label it in yast (you have to format the disk)

Or if you run KDE, you can mount the usb disk where you like

Since the OP mentioned they were using Windows at the moment, it would
be quickest to plug them into the Windows system and use "My Computer"
to give them a new volume name. This can be done by opening "My
Computer", right-clicking on the relevant drive and then selecting
"Rename".
