I think the solution to that is to make adding the duid to fstab work. At boot, if the duid exists, it's mounted. If it doesn't, it doesn't mount but also doesn't error out. This may already work even, I haven't tried it. For example, network interfaces plugged in at boot just work without hotplug support. If the device is present, hostname.if is run. If not, no error. I think disks should work the same way.
