software RAID member names questions

moin moin,

I'm using a USB JBOD enclosure to build a RAID set.

Restarting the enclosure ends up with the drives on new names, e.g. sda,
sdb and sdc come back sdd, sde and sdf.

I added labels to my disk partitions and was hoping to use them, e.g.
/dev/disk/by-partlabel/raid{0,1,2}, but mdadm turned them back to
/dev/sd{d,e,f} names as members of the array

Anyone know how I can either get /dev/sd names not to change for removable
media or get mdadm to accept the names I want to use?

I'd rather the latter.

ciao,

der.hans
