When devfs was first described, one of the features was that certain
devices which had "serial numbers" such as most hard disk file
systems, would be represented as a /dev/volume/serial... which would be
a symbolic link to the full address. Then the fstab entries could
optionally reference a device independent of the hardware position.
Haven't heard anything recently about it.
