Raspberry Pi : Auto-Mount USB Stick or SSD Disk
(Be Aware, SSD Disk uses a lot of Amp, so it would need to be on an external powered USB Hub !, but now you can find 64, 128 or 256 Gb Usb Sticks that would be far enough)

root@ubuntu:~# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 58.9 GiB, 63216549888 bytes, 123469824 sectors

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

to get the UUID (exemple below, UUID=5C24-1453)

- fdisk
Command fdisk -l to list
Command fdisk /dev/sda to manage the disk
then p and d commands to partition and delete partitions.

- Format partition
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1

- Auto-Mounting command in fstab
UUID=5C24-1453 /mnt/mydisk FSTYPE defaults,auto,users,rw,nofail 0 0

If the filesystem type is FAT or NTFS, add ,umask=000 immediately after nofail - this will allow all users full read/write access to every file on the storage device.

Exemples :
/dev/sda1 /media/usb ext4 defaults,auto,users,rw,nofail 0 0
UUID=5C24-1453 /media/usb ext4 defaults,auto,users,rw,nofail 0 0


- UnMount
umount /media/usb
