How do I mount all partitions of a specific device

Assuming there are entries in fstab for each partition,
There are not. I have a varying number of devices. Each device is
normally associated with a specific function (e.g. sneaker-net) or
personal project. A specific physical device may be reformatted and
assigned a new purpose.
you could use a (bash) for loop, like:
for i in /dev/sd<device_letter>*; do mount $i; done
Hmm, well, that makes it (for me) harder.
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.
