I do not see this behavior. The mount points in media are created and
removed as the drive is plugged in and out. /etc/fstab is appropriately
updated as well. Are you saying that you are plugging and unplugging
the drive in very quickly (plugging it back in after having unplugged
it for a second or less)?

Again, I am not seeing this behavior. fstab is appropriately updated
on my system. I never liked the fact that I suppressed the managed
keyword, but as you say, the drives can't be mounted with the managed
keyword in fstab, so I really had no choice.
I'm curious as to why your system is acting differently than mine. I
wonder if it could be something with the Udev version and/or hotplug
setup?
