Who cares what device is created? You could, of course, navigate /sys and
find out where the "block" link is pointing. Or find it in the kernel log.
Or simply check /proc/partitions. I just don't see why is it useful to
know this.

Let the computer edit fstab for you. There is HAL, fstab-sync et al. Why
waste time doing what your computer is supposed to do itself?
