Networked storage devices are accessed by user nodes through a consistent symbolic link naming convention that associates a symbolic link to a storage device unique identifier. User node operating system storage device directory naming conventions are mapped to the symbolic links by selecting a user node as a master and mapping symbolic links to directory names and unique identifiers for the networked storage devices with a master configuration engine. A configuration file with the symbolic link mapping generated by the master configuration engine is provided to configuration engines associated with other user nodes so that the other user nodes are configured to have the symbolic links point to consistent storage devices by reference to the unique identifiers. In the event of differences in user node directory names and subsequent changes to directory names for one or more user nodes, symbolic links remain associated with predetermined storage devices by reference to the unique identifiers.
