(Get the code!)
I, for example, have a lot of scripts to backup different parts of my HD (it's more complicated than just backing up the whole $HOME folder) and I have to specify the USB path in those scripts. Now say I switch to a different USB flash drive, then I have to change all those scripts. Then there is the point komputes makes about new users without completion or completion experience.
Of course Ubuntu should distinguish the different drives (disk, disk-1, disk-2, ...). But can you give me any practical example in which it helps to have these complicated yet persistant path names?
