After following up on Bryan McLellan's suggestion to read the manpage
for udev,
http://www.linuxcommand.org/man_pages/udev8.html ,
I now think that this command may be responsible for assigning the
device names. Actually, I think "may be" is weak, but my knowledge about
this is slim to none.
I thought that udev only used the uuid name, which may not be unique
(e.g. when I cloned my working drive), but Bryan pointed out that udev
uses other pieces of information to uniquely identify drives.
