The problem with devising a solution for this is that there has to be
some means by which external volumes are differentiated in some way, and
the importance of having certain volumes mounted is going to differ from
one user to the next, a situation already illustrated in the closing
comment of bug #389212 - "This appears to be much too complex to be
considered a paper cut.".
The bottom line is that it's better to let the user choose which volumes
they want to have automounted, rather than attempting to make that
decision for them, which will only end up upsetting a lot of people.
What you can do immediately is to edit your fstab to automatically mount
your chosen volumes in the same directory each time your computer starts
up. This guide will take you through the necessary steps
http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html.
I think a better, longer term, solution would be the development of a
graphical tool that will allow the user to edit the fstab without having
to do so using a text editor, which is something that can be done at
