Currently `udevil` creates mount points based on the volume label, which could be changed by the user, or there are multiple devices sharing the same label, and it would be problematic if you want to specify a device in a config file (for example, seeding directory for `rtorrent` on an external HDD). However, the ID (WWN, etc.) of a disk is unique since they are tied to the hardware device instead of the FS, so if you mount an external drive and do something that requires a fixed path, it is now possible since the same ID always pointing to the same device.
