Mounting drives ? Are you refering to filesystem (on a medium) on the drives ?
If so, I am quite sure that this belongs to user space.
Registering devices to the scsi layer should probably be done in kernel space.
Mounting in user space has its own set of problems which we fortunately
need not discuss here. Another possible issue would be scripts changing
/etc/fstab on hotplugging events. I am not sure I like that idea. It seems
too risky to keep changing that file.

Oliver
