I have noauto in this context: pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed

I simply copied it from the cdrecorder, cdrom and floppy lines, as they have
the same and also all appear under /media. Not very intelligent, but I
wasn't sure what else to put there, since the 'managed' threw me and I was
stumped when lines kept disappearing and then reappearing from fstab. I do
get that now, but the ones that reappear aren't the ones that disappeared, I
have noticed, so the system must have some overrides stored somewhere that
are not the same as the ones I had chosen.

In any case, I did try auto, but with the other options, as above, but when
I plugged the camera in, what I had put into fstab simply disappeared and
the old line with noauto reappeared.

This is not a huge problem, as I said, now that I have spent so much time on
it, and have seen that firstly, nobody has any answers, and secondly, all
the work I have done and suggestions, both here and on other websites, have
had me just going in circles and getting nowhere.

I can mount manually, which is fine, I guess. I just thought that cds mount
themselves when inserted, so why not a camera. I am using the same fstab
option that cds have, and they work there.
