I can handle file systems: they have labels and UUIDs.
I'd like a choice to deal with SATA and PATA interfaces using
some kind of name that never changes, and preferably a name that
relates to something I can see, such as: "the drive attached to
cable 2 of the card in slot 5" or "the <Manufacturer> drive with
serial number 1D2C3B4A", etc.
Look in /dev/disk for various ways to find your disks.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
