Doing a mount '/media/COMMON' or 'mount /dev/sda1' would suffice, FWIW.

In GNOME there's gnome-volume-manager that is installed by default and
the default configuration will mount them either when you log in or when
you attach them to your system. For KDE, there's KDE Volume Manager
(that is much like gnome-volume-manager) on kdenonbeta which I don't
think we ship. You could submit it to fedora.us to get it packaged and
then it could end up in FC4.

HTH,
