I also have the problem of noauto being ignored. It worked fine in Dapper, but in Feisty, if the "user" option is used it ignores "noauto", and if "user" is removed it doesn't automount but then doubleclicking on the drives icon results in the message "You are not privileged to mount the volume". I've searched the ubuntu forum, wiki and google. Here's what I have found so far; I have turned up a few pages of interest but I just haven't been able to find any solution.
