You do not care much about that in a script anyway. But only root can issue "full", i.e with extra options, mount/umount command while with corresponding /etc/fstab entries with one of options 'user' or 'owner' you can do '[u]mount /some/device' from a non-root account. Makes a difference. In your script you can conditionally create missing mount points as well - assuming that that script runs with priviledges sufficient for that. > - rest as previously performed / scripted More or less. Do not create such mount points in /media/. That may collide with what 'gnome-mount' expects. It is not critical but things may become messy. If you are not root 'gnome-mount' also will not work from a remote login. This may or may not be exactly what you desire.
