Auto mount of hard disk drive

[Mycroft1855]

What is the best way to automount any and all hdd? Would it work to just run a script at start up that calls mount several times?

For Example calling this several times:
"mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/hdaX"
with X being the number for the disk.

I want it to work with up to about 10 HDD.

Is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks.

How about some variant of the following? I believe this is fairly typical:

DRIVES="/dev/hd[a-z][0-9]"

for drv in $DRIVES ; do
    if mount $drv /mnt/tmp ; then
        umount /mnt/tmp
        # mark $drv as successful... do... something...
    else
        ;
        # mark $drv as UNsuccessful... oh well..
    fi
done
