i think that you must use udev, its work for me.
i have two devices a sony camera and mp3 player (both use usb_storage)
i create two files:
/etc/udev/rules.d/01_camara.rules
BUS="usb",SYSFS{idVendor}="054c",SYSFS{idProduct}="0010",NAME="%k",SYMLINK=
"camara%1" ,GROUP="camera"
/etc/udev/rules.d/02_pendrive.rules
BUS="usb",SYSFS{idVendor}="10d6",SYSFS{idProduct}="1100",NAME="%k",SYMLINK=
"pendrive%1" ,GROUP="disk"
and i can use in my fstab:
/dev/camara /media/camara vfat defaults,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/pendrive /media/pendrive vfat defaults,user,noauto 0 0
in fact, the devices are that names always, i can mount/umount /dev/camara
or /dev/pendrive.
pd:the value of idVendor and idProduct are in the device information
on /sys/bus/usb/
Saludos!
