Assign the drive letter (/dev/sdb) manually

cn flag

I have an old computer, I installed Ubuntu Server 20.04, it works perfectly but it changes the letter it assigns to the hard drives every time I start it and it deconfigures the automatic mounting. It has 5 hard drives.

Is there a way to fix the letter, so that when starting it does not change?

Example; /dev/sd(a) or whatever.

Stay tuned, greetings!

The standard way to fix this is to not use the device name (/dev/sdb) to mount it but instead use the UUID. Check /dev/disk/by*/ for your drive's uuid. (There are several other ways to get it as well.) Then instead of the device name, use UUID= followed by what you find.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
