fixed usb devices linux

Question

I have a relatively short question concerning USB device handling.

How is it possible to map a USB device to a fixed device.

I know there are ways using udev rules, but I want here a compilation of how to do it and with which tools (if there are any).

So show me your ways how you map the following usb drives to a fixed device.

1 USB HDD

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1058:1110 Western Digital Technologies, Inc.

shoud go to:

/dev/sdc

1 USB flash drive

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1b1c:1ab1 <- unknown vendor, actually its CORSAIR VOYAGER

shoud go to:

/dev/sdd

Answer 1

If you use UUIDs or Volume Labels, you don't need fixed device names.

Answer 2

You could use udev rules to manually force the device IDs etc...
