A reasonably easy and safe way to avoid name collisions would be to
track devices by creating/deleting mountpoints with same name as the
label as soon as you add/remove a device/partition to your collection.
Then you could also use that to script a 'mount-all'
command/function/one-liner, something like:
for $dir in /media/removable/*
do
mount /dev/disk/by-label/$dir /media/removable/$dir
done
(with appropriate quoting, etc.)
You could even group devices in different classes as needed (removable,
fixed, spinning, SSDs, etc.).
Kind regards,
Andrei
