How to set up fstab for usb disk ACL

[ralphl]

I want to use Access Control Lists (ACLs) on a removable usb hard drive. I don't know how to set up /etc/fstab for usb drives. Every time I try to make an fstab entry for the usb drive I get an error, when I plug in the usb drive and the system tries to automatically mount it. The drive isn't mounted. If I delete the fstab entry for the usb drive, the drive automatically mounts with no problem. However, ACLs are not enabled, because no fstab entry exists to enable ACLs.

The error message states that "only root can mount the drive". However, as far as I can tell, automatic usb mounting is being done by root. When I plug in the drive (with no fstab entry) and it automatically mounts, Nautilus Properties shows the drive is owned by root and has permissions of rwxr-xrwx.

Any help is much appreciated.
