I have formatted /dev/sdb5 as udf with
mkfs.udf --utf8 -l UDFStore /dev/sdb5
on Gentoo. But blkid doesn't list /dev/sdb5. How can I reliably mount my UDF partition at startup in /etc/fstab when device enumeration changes due to additional connected USB devices at startup.

Aside from device names, you can mount filesystems using their UUID or label.
For example, if when you created the filesystem you labeled it UDFStore, you can add an /etc/fstab entry like this: LABEL=UDFStore /data udf defaults 0 0

that didn't work.lsblkshows no label for/dev/sdb5. Stupid of me for voting up without testing. Ur answer felt very obvious! huh!

Plug in the device, then, runfind /dev/disk. You'll see paths corresponding to your disks and partitions. Look through the directoriesby-label,by-partlabel, andby-id. Those are reliable paths, one of which may correspond to the UDF partition. To use filesystem or partition ID's, you can runlsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,PARTLABEL,PARTUUIDand match those ID's with the appropriate path from thefindcommand above, by looking for device files in theby-uidandby-uuiddirectories. Then in /etc/fstab` substitute/dev/sdb5with the reliable path of your choice.

Though the solution mentioned there is for entire hard disk, can I stillmkudffs --media-type=hd --vid=UDFStore /dev/sdb5? Does it destroy data?
