True. but the OP has said that his script detects that situation and
automagically partitions and formats the new drive. In that case, it can
add a label to the drive at the same time, and always put the SAME label on
it so that fstab can find the "BAKUPDSK" drive regardless of device name,
and mount it to BackupPC's required mountpoint.
