Welcome to Linux, Benoit!

Just a reminder, there are no safety nets in linux.

Always make a backup!

The following Bash commands will do what you ask. Be certain the partitions are correct for your environment in the "for vol ..." line.

# Become super user - "danger Will Robinson!"
sudo su

Make backup fstab - in case things go bad


cp /etc/fstab /tmp/fstab.bkup


Make temporary target fstab


cp /etc/fstab /tmp/fstab.tmp


Create mount points and fstab entries


Volume names will vary - use 'lsblk -f' to find yours


for vol in sda1 nvme0n1p1
do
  mkdir -p /mnt/$vol 
  UUID=$(lsblk -fno UUID /dev/$vol) 
  printf "UUID=%s\t/mnt/%s\text4\tdefaults\t0\t2\n" $UUID $vol >> /tmp/fstab.tmp
done

Check that /tmp/fstab.tmp looks good. That is identical to /etc/fstab but with the additional lines added for the new partitions. If all looks good:

cp /tmp/fstab.tmp /etc/fstab
sync;sync
mount -a
exit
