This behavior is quite problematic when using multiple drives. For example I've got a single large drive I like to always have ready and mounted. I then get into trouble if my remembered drive was on /dev/sda, is absent, and then I try to insert a sdcard. The sdcard is quickly mounted as if it was the large drive (since it occupies the /dev/sda path), worse, sometimes I really prefer to mount them manually as read only when data recovering. I would wish for a way to maybe just simply have the option to supply a custom device path. Then I could just copy paste the /dev/disk/by-uuid/***** corresponding path.
