You should be using lvm2 and lvm2_cluster to handle this issue.  LVM2
handles the name changing of the device on reboot.  This often happens
depending on the scan order for the devices.  By using a volume manager,
you make these changes transparent.  You also have the advantage of not
being tied to single devices, but able to concatenate or stripe your
filesystem across multiple devices.  You must also use lvm2-cluster to
ensure any changes you make to the volume information is consistent
across the cluster.
