As far as mounting goes, you may want to give the file system labels, and let HAL auto-mount them. The drive then gets mounted on /media/<label> when it is plugged in. If there is more then one partition on the drive, then each gets mounted off of /media. If the partitions are not labeled, then HAL has some other rules it uses to construct the names. The auto-mounting will normally make FAT file systems owned by the user who "owns" the console. You can also turn off auto-mounting in the GUI. If you have special requirements for how the drive gets mounted, then you can ether write HAL rules to cover it, or you can have udev create a special device name or symlink based on the device. Vendor ID and device ID are usually enough, but you can also use the serial number. I can give better advice if I know exactly what you are after. I am not an expert on this. But I have played around enough that I can probably point you in the right direction.
