[TriLUG] usb floppy drive naming question - Centos

[Mike Norwood]

Hello,

I have a simple (I hope) question about the naming process for usb 
devices.  When I plug a usb floppy drive into a Centos 5 machine, it 
seems to find the floppy on every name from /dev/sdb to /dev/sdi, and I 
can access it correctly at each of these names.   

When I use a usb drive on the same machine, it is only recognized as 
/dev/sdb (assuming I have not already plugged in the floppy and grabbed 
multiple device names).  Is there any way to make the usb floppy select 
one device name?  I don't really care which one if I can somehow make it pick 
the same one each time.  

I also am not trying to automatically mount the floppy drive, as we are as 
likely to use tar with it, as to be using mtools to read a dos floppy.

Thanks in advance,  Mike Norwood
