That's correct, except not all of these guides discuss the drive serial
number. If you want to ensure that different drives are mounted at
different points, you have to rely on the device serial (since the /dev
nodes are filled in order of the device connection, regardless of which
drive it is).
There are plenty of guides that mention how to find the serial number and
how to write the correct udev rules, but most the guides are outdated and
suggest use of the symlink udevinfo, which was removed upstream recently.
So, to get a device's serial number, for example (replace /dev/sdb with the
correct node) :
# udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sdb) | grep
ATTRS{serial}
and use the (first) serial that doesn't have colons and periods. Then for
the udev rule you just need to include ATTRS{serial}==" 0000000000"
This is also useful when you have external harddrives that use ext3
formatting and flashdrives that don't.
