I found it more reliable to automate this on my desktop machine by having the 
hotplug scripts mount and unmount. In my case, the storage is a camera, so I 
also have them suck the camera dry and if successful also clear it.

SuperMount would account for around half of the very few reboots I do of 
Linux.
