If this is a removable device i suggest removing all references to it
from /etc/fstab.
That way it will be handled as a removable device and the user mounting it
will get read and write permissions.
If you really want to use fstab entries this is my suggestion:
You have multiple removable USB devices and want them mounted to separate
mount-points in /media.
You can use the symlinks generated by udev, in /dev/disk/by-id/ instead of for
example. /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 and so on.
With this magic you can have fstab entries like this:
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-_USB_DISK_28X_0766167F01EA-part1 /media/usbstick vfat
rw,user,uid=1000 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-_some_other_disk-part1 /media/storage ext3 defaults 0 0
Now it doesn't matter what device you plug in first. As udev will do the
symlinking.
