Actually, I think you're right. I think kudzu wrote it. Anyway,
inertia being what it is, it'll probably remain there :-)

I have had that problem with USB drives, as well, though not marked
with kudzu. The problem I've experienced is that with my USB
drive, it may wind up on /dev/sda1 or /dev/sde1 from boot to boot,
even though I use the same USB port. I put two entries into /etc/fstab,
and used whichever worked. I no longer have a USB drive, so it
doesn't matter (though, inertia being what it is, both entries
survive unscathed in my /etc/fstab :-)
