I use what's below in fstab for manually mounting any USB device that I attach after booting up. /dev/sda1 /media/removable auto rw,noauto,user,exec,users 0 0 Be aware that this is only for the first USB drive you connect, any additional ones connected up after the first one will have to be /dev/sdb1 and so on. Change /media/removable to the mount point you want. I have no issues with booting my system with the above, nor do I have issues with mounting USB devices.
