Oh, you're talking about udisks/HAL automount feature I assume. It
should be possible to specify mount parameters in some way for those
implementations, but that isn't really a "fix" if you're using
multiple computers - a per-drive mount parameter stored somewhere on
the drive wouldn't be that bad to save some time.
