Just for testing purposes (SuSE 9.2 fresh install as of lastnight) I plugged in my flash drive and did not find any entry added to /etc/fstab but there was an entry added to the end of /etc/mtab. Issue the mount command without any parameters and the info presented can be used to add and entry to fstab with minor modification. /etc/fstab is -not- meant to be dynamic where as /etc/mtab is.
I vaguely remember that at some point in time SuSE changed fstab also (in the 9.1 days???). But I think it's indeed better to not change fstab for the reason you mentioned. Cheers, Leen
