Just out of curiosity... when are these being mounted? If we are talking 
about mounting a partition from a user session that's one thing and can 
easily make it user only accessible with a checkbox I guess. I'm 
wondering though, when you plug in a USB thumbdrive... don't all users 
have access? What's the difference here? Are we talking about system 
wide mounts like mine where only /home is encrypted??

Just wondering.
