Favoriting

See https://askubuntu.com/questions/732584/can-veracrypt-use-persistent-mount-points-on-linux

Favoriting Volumes

On linux, you don't want to favorite by /dev/sd[x]. Instead you should use one of the following:

  • /dev/disk/by-path/
  • /dev/disk/by-id/

Notes:

  • These are all symlinks. You can use ls -l to see what they are.

If you're favoriting a partition rather than an entire volume, you can also use:

  • /dev/disk/by-uuid/
