Why's everybody ragging on the 'users' option?  From mount(8), regarding
the 'user' option:
       For more  details,  see  fstab(5).   Only  the  user  that
       mounted  a  filesystem  can unmount it again.  If any user
       should be able to unmount, then use users instead of  user
       in  the  fstab  line.

I purposefully suggested 'users', but it depends on the behavior you want.
It shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.
