Automount External USB HD in FC2

Hi there, I've seen that this problem in quite common in list so I think that someone must have solve it
already.
I have an external USB Disk and I want to be mounted automatically by the system.
I added a new description in '/etc/updfstab' and once I plug the disk the fstab is updated with a
new line, and a new icon representing the disk appears in Computer link in GNOME 2.6 (I use fedora core
2). The think is that :
The disk is not mounted automatically and I cannot mount it as a simple user but only as root.
My digital camera (Sony P32), on the other hand, is detected and mounted automatically with the right
permissions. Why isn't the same happens for the disk ? Doesn't both use the 'usb-storage' ? What's the
prob. ?


The other think is that when I have plugged in both my camera and the disk, the fstab is not updated
as appropriate for the disk (but camera still works perfectly). I think that this has to do with the 'partition' parameter in the description in 'updfstab' (I have both set to 1) but I cannot see any other option expect 'partition 1' since both devices are assigned to /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 respectively.
Reading manual page of updfstab didn't help more.


Has anyone solve this problem ? I'd appriciate any help.

Regards,

George
