If they all have similar mounting options (e.g., RO, things like that), and the mount points correspond to some system (e.g., /dev/sd<device_letter><n> gets mounted on /mnt/<mountpoint><n>), then you might modify the mount command in that loop appropriately, e.g.: mount /dev/sd<device_letter><n> /mnt/<mountpoint><n> <options> Or, if groups of those devices have mountpoints that correspond to some system, then you could haved multiple for loops to do the groups. Or you could put mount commands in a file, one line per file, and run a for loop on the lines of the file, or some variation of this.
