So your sample line in /etc/fstab will look like

The above line is untested so try it only after reading all the
relevant
manual pages.
That will not fix his problem. Since it will automatically mount at
boot, it will be mounted by root. That means that only root will be
able to unmount it. Of course, this will not fix any of the ownership
issues.
Thanks Roberto! I use
/dev/sda1 /home/user/partition auto user,noauto,exec
0 0
to allow the users to mount the USB drive. I did not think of all the
consequences of changing noauto to auto.
sorry for the noise.

What about the uid,gid options in mount. my fstab for a vfat shared
windows partition is
/dev/sda6 /mnt/Windowsdat vfat
rw,user,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=002 0 2
and it's mounted a boot with user and group ownership I want.
These options are not available on all fs types I think.

Sorry for the noise, just read the subject line again and the manpage
for mount and ext2/3 dont support these options afaict. Brain in gear :)
