How is that happening? The number on the bus shouldn't change from adding or removing drives. I could imagine this with disabling a card in UEFI / BIOS if that basically stops reporting the bus entry completely. But drives?

Anyhow, if I'm not mistaken, you can assign a fixed name based on the reported MAC.

It is only the nvme drives that do it. That damn PCI busses and iommu groups get renumbered every damn time I remove or add one. The SATA is safe though.
