kinda going off topic.
If your using udev you can write a rule so that whenever a certain
device is attached you can assign it to /dev/device or to that effect.
Using the serial number of the usbstick the all you have to do is to
edit your fstab and add a entry for
/dev/usbstick /mnt/usbstick defaults 0 0
a rule that i use is.
The rule would go in /etc/udev/rules.d/
BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="2221BABWA14450J0",NAME="%k",SYMLINK="usbflash"
For more information on writing rules you can go here.
