Device ID command

[KB1LQC]

Does anyone know how to acquire and set a certain device such as a USB drive to always be the same drive letter. I.E. have a certain reader always be /dev/sdb. I want to use this in a program I have been working on. Thanks!

every mountable device has a unique ID called a UUID. you can use this ID to mount a specific device to a specific path in your fstab.

this sounds similar to your problem:
