I just stumbled across something nice in the Linux fstab(5) manpage that
might be nice to adopt to some extent:

       Instead of giving the device explicitly, one may  indicate
       the  (ext2 or xfs) filesystem that is to be mounted by its
       UUID or volume label (cf.   e2label(8)  or  xfs_admin(8)),
       writing  LABEL=<label>  or UUID=<uuid>, e.g., `LABEL=Boot'
       or `UUID=3e6be9de-8139-11d1-9106-a43f08d823a6'.  This will
       make  the  system  more  robust: adding or removing a SCSI
       disk changes the disk device name but not  the  filesystem
       volume label.
