I did some research on the subject and everything I found about ext4 in userspace said don't do it with data you care about.  I finally looked up options for fstab and found that changing user to users fixed the problem.  I backed up a drive today. When I finished, and unmounted the backup drive, It didn't bug me for a password.

    I have some hard drives in my computer that I back up using

    have one of those USB hard drive docking stations I put another
    drive in
    when I'm ready to do a backup.  The backup works fine, but when I
    go to
    unmount the drive containing the backup, the system prompts me for my
    password.  Is there some change I can make in fstab to stop the
    system
    nagging me for my password?  Here is the entry in fstab for one of
    the
    backup drives.

    UUID=797f7b69-9b84-4b22-8e64-73f9104eb79e /media/delboy/boffo ext4
    noauto,user        0    0

    thanks
