The problem with this, is that it requires giving root access to the users. Is this advisable?
By default only root has right to mount/umount partitions, or to edit fstab, where this mounting information is stored. So the root is the one who should make the initial setup. Once the necessary entries in fstab are done, there is no need of root password to access the partiton, if you follow the way I set it up. If you have a remote access to that machine, and you are the admin, then you can easily make these changes without giving the root password.
