This makes little sense. The main difference between user and users is
that the former only allows the user who mounted the filesystem (or
root) to unmount the filesystem, whereas the latter (plural) relaxes
this rule and allows any user to unmount the filesystem.

Doubtful. As far as I'm aware "/etc/crypttab" is for systems that use
that atrocity called systemd. So unless you have your system set up to
use systemd, "/etc/conf.d/dmcrypt" is the correct one to use.

Unfortunately, it's quite basic indeed. I still, however, think you can
achieve what you intend to with fstab. I personally tested what I wrote
in my previous email and, apart from the usual false error message, it
mounts it exactly where I've described in /etc/fstab. I can also eject
it via Device Notifier. Could it be that there's something else going on
in your case?
