[Discuss] Mounting USB drives

[brendan]

you can specify in fstab that a non-root user is able to mount/unmount a
device. see the "non-superuser mounts" section in the mount manpage:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/mount.8.html

additionally, the "noauto" option will stop it from trying to mount the
usb drive at boot.
