we can do an auto-symlink during mounting with only partition LABEL in name. ... if this is problem.

btw: functionality which takes mountpoint name from /etc/fstab (if record present) and uses this is still there.

you can put into /etc/fstab:

Code:

UUID=2423423-4324234-24-234234        /media/usb        ext4/xxx       noatime,rw,...       0        0
or
LABEL=my_label .....
or even old fashioned (and no recommended - if you are using more than one ext disk)
/dev/sdaX ....
