You can add some lines to /etc/updfstab.conf
Have a read of the man page for updfstab.conf
eg I have for memeory stick
device memstick {
partition 1
match hd "Key Drive"
}
The "Key Drive" is a string I see in dmesg after pushing the memory
stick in.
Once added and possibly restarting kudzu, plugging and unplugging the
device will edit your fstab file for eg adding a line like
/dev/sda1 /mnt/memstick auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
The user logged in at the console will then be able to mount with a simple
mount /mnt/memstick Or from the gnome desktop as well.
