[olug] Drive letter assignments

[Obi-Wan]

While I'm on the hard drive topic, it drives me crazy that every time
I reboot my machine that contains five physical drives (one PATA, four
SATA), the sdX drive letters get scrambled.  I label every partition,
so this doesn't affect drive mounting, but it plays havoc with my
MRTG setup because SNMP sorts its entries by drive letter (-ish).

Is there any way around this?  I only reboot once every few months to
catch kernel updates, but it's still annoying.
