I'm looking to auto mount hot swappable sata hdd's. There are multiple drives so identifying them via their UUID's is out of the question. I've searched but can't find a suitable option. The partitions on the drives may also be different so I can't make a symlink when sdb1 is entered for example as the mount point may be on a different partition like sdb5 on different HDD's. I've looked at mounting the partition to a label based on when something is plugged in to a specific sata port for example ata1 = "/media/disk1" ata2 = "/media/disk2", which would seem to be an ideal solution but haven't been able to get that to work. I'm using lubuntu 14.04.
Why would identifying the drives via their UUID be out of the question? A disk has a unique UUID, which sounds exactly what you could use to differentiate drives. – mtak – 2014-06-20T10:01:45.813
1There are potentially 250 drives possibly more keeping track of would end up being more complicated than manually mounting them. – None – 2014-06-20T10:06:08.467
