F17 introduced a change to how external drives are mounted. They are
mounted now exclusively to a logged on user. This is somewhat
inconvenient, because iso images stored on external drive is now
inaccessible to virtual machines. Is it possible to make drives
accessible to everyone?

Add the mount to /etc/fstab and make sure the "auto" option is included.
Something like:

    /path/to/device    /mountpoint    ext4      defaults,auto 0 0

I would use UUID as the device identifier so that if device name changes it will still mount it correctly.

blkid /dev/sda1 will get you the uuid and then add:

UUID=YOUR-UID         /mountpoint    ext4      defaults,auto     0 0
