That's why mount by label exists

[zaitcev@niphredil zaitcev]$ cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/                 /                       ext2    defaults        1 1
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             auto    noauto,owner    0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0

Not really... Gooch says it is needed and he has a patch for it,
check it out too. Most of it can be resolved by other means.
