Use /dev/disk/by-uuid/<YOUR_DRIVE_ID> instead.

Set a link at /storage/.config/autostart.sh:
Bash#!/bin/sh ( ln -s /dev/disk/by-uuid/<YOUR_DRIVE_ID> /var/media/hddpath ) & -
Set a link at /storage/.config/autostart.sh:
Bash#!/bin/sh ( ln -s /dev/disk/by-uuid/<YOUR_DRIVE_ID> /var/media/hddpath ) &i did it like this
Bash#!/bin/sh ( ln -s /dev/disk/by-uuid/53971acb-b470-4e13-86e0-214bdc22f621 /var/media/sda1-ata-KINGSTON_SNV2S20 ln -s /dev/disk/by-uuid/e60c7dc1-9f50-4088-9686-2ce42f3f55b9 /var/media/sda1-ata-KINGSTON_SNV2S20/complete/tv2 ) &and the first drive gets mounted at /var/media/sda1-ata-KINGSTON_SNV2S20 and the second one at /var/media/sdb1-ata-Samsung_SSD_840_
inside /var/media/sda1-ata-KINGSTON_SNV2S20 there is a symlink 53971acb-b470-4e13-86e0-214bdc22f621 -> /dev/disk/by-uuid/53971acb-b470-4e13-86e0-214bdc22f621
and inside /var/media/sda1-ata-KINGSTON_SNV2S20/complete/tv2 there is a symlink /dev/disk/by-uuid/e60c7dc1-9f50-4088-9686-2ce42f3f55b9
not exactly what i wanted?

Sorry, I was wrong. Use mount instead of ln -s. Create a folder for each mount, too.
Bash#!/bin/sh ( mkdir /var/media/<YOUR_PREFERRED_PATITION_NAME> mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/<YOUR_PARTITION_ID> /var/media/<YOUR_PREFERRED_PATITION_NAME> ) &To my knowledge, LE will always add external disk partitions to /var/media, so you eventually get them twice.

Code
e2label /dev/sda1 "LABEL"Use e2label to set disk labels and the drive should be auto-mounted to /var/media/LABEL instead of the default behaviour of mounting to a path that includes the current /dev/device which depends on USB probe order (which cannot be controlled).

Ok nice! This solved my problem, thank you. Both of you
