Is there a unique identifier for a disk that is not the startup disk
and that would persist over restarts so that an AppleScript script
referring to the disk would work as expected even if the name of the
disk changes?
Yes, via unique UNIX identifier from which one can then obtain the
User editable Volume Name.
'df | grep '/dev/'| awk '{print $1}'' - via 'Terminal', or
do shell script ("df | grep '/dev/' | awk '{print $1}'") - via
AppleScript's 'Script Editor' will display the UNIX low level
assignment of each mounted Volume.
Replacing '$1' with '$6' will instead display the User's editable
Name of the mounted Volume(s).
do shell script ("df | grep '/dev/' | awk '{print $1, $6}'") -
displays both the UNIX low level assignment and User editable Name
for each mounted Volume, per Line.
