I think I did look at autofs ... but, from my research, it would mount
ANY usb drive that is attached at specified points.

I was looking for a way to mount specific USB drives on specific mount
points.

Fedora Core 6.

FWIW: I did find a solution ... rather than use udev, I'm using the UUID
of the drive (which is supposed to be unique).

To determine the UUID of the partition I want to mount, I use the blkid
command.

[root@rivendell ~]# blkid /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1: UUID="42737f77-2849-4729-b91d-9094bf935947" SEC_TYPE="ext2"
TYPE="ext3"

And then add the following to my /etc/fstab file ...

UUID="42737f77-2849-4729-b91d-9094bf935947" /nobackup2  ext3
suid,sync,defaults,exec,nodev,noauto  0  0

Seems to work fine.
