correct, however that would assume there is a file system on that block device
the device ID should be able to be used without the existance of a FS.

address@hidden:~$ sudo /lib/udev/scsi_id -g -u --page=0x83 /dev/sdf
360060480000190300570533030313044
address@hidden:~$ blkid /dev/sdf1
/dev/sdf1: UUID="e149b893-2970-46d8-9ee4-322d6a589828" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"

use uuid?  Some distros (Ubuntu for example) mount via UUID

% blkid
/dev/vda1: UUID="6331275f-f10d-4684-8aa8-e8aca1582b9d" TYPE="swap"
/dev/vda2: UUID="cf121062-fd27-4151-8a68-6cb940e449fe" TYPE="ext3"
