Stephen,

Yeah, it probably will change. I'm guessing the only reason it has been 
so consistent for the last little while is that I have been focusing on 
this one device.

I'm trying to figure out what my options are there. This part about 
setting the drive to be mounted in the same place is a little over my head.

If I understand what you're saying, I need to see if the Android phone 
uses a file system that will identify itself reliably?

I'm not sure how to figure that out. I ran dmesg, and it seems like the 
system might be EXT4...?

[   11.967367] EXT4 FS on md0, internal journal on md0:8
[   12.271286] usb-storage: device scan complete
[   12.274273] scsi 8:0:0:0: Direct-Access     HTC      Android Phone    
0100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2

It seems like it's identifying itself with some useful information. 
Surely I can use this to get Ubuntu to name it consistently when mounted?
