Hi Daniel,
the autofs service should allow you to automount any USB storage with generic options (not including the UUID). You can try to use the autofs man page (also available online at ). In these days I can’t test it, please let me know if it works

Do you know a way to replace UUID=bla by something that mounts all connected drives?

Thank you for your feedback, Greg. I also found accessing USB storages overcomplicated on Raspberry PI OS Lite, that’s the reason of this tutorial.
Let’s see the positive side: in this way you get the opportunity to know peppe8o.com 🙂

Autofs worked. I’ve been fighting with fstab for a couple of days, changing all sorts of settings but to no avail. Why is accessing an HDD om a Pi soooo difficult? I’m setting up tvheadend on a Pi4.
